Friends at Peace, The Adult Ed Team has a dazzling variety of high quality offerings for spring, 2012. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell strangers, and post notices around the town! 1) Starting January 8th, Sunday mornings, at the Adult Ed hour, 11:30-12:30 there will be a Study (8 January - 1 April) led by the Rev. Dr. Richard I. Deibert, MD, MDiv, PhD in New Testament Studies, University of Cambridge titled Approaching The Revelation of Saint John: The End of the Bible, the End of Time, and the Confident Hope of the Church for a New Creation. This study aims to clear a way through the confusion surrounding this mysterious book that completes Holy Scripture. Join us, and invite others, for this journey through John's Apocalypse. Together we'll explore the depth and breadth of this paean of praise to the ultimate power of God. 2) In January, we will introduce a Thursday evening (1/12, 1/19, and 1/26, 7:30-9:00 PM) study led by Bob Cutler, in which he will present on and lead a discussion of Deepak Chopra’s book How to Know God. Dr Chopra combines his medical and psychological practice experience to present a case that the human nervous system has seven biological responses that correspond to seven levels of divine experience relating to knowing God. He believes that “it is not only possible to know this source of existence on an abstract level but to become intimate and at one with it” and he will attempt to describe how that can be achieved. 3) After the Revelation study the morning Lively Learning studies will include a series on “Being at Peace with…” some topics that will be included will be Being at Peace with your family, our polarized culture, and our mortality. 4) The Worship and Sermon reflections will continue, led by our able team of Bill Clough, Grant Lowe, and David Thomas and we could sure use others willing to facilitate reflections on the worship service that morning, resources are provided.
Your spiritual education shouldn't stop, come learn and grow with us. Wishing you a blest Christmas season and new year, Bill | |
