Christian Formation Classes
Mondays 4:00 on Zoom

How do you live out the sacredness of the life God has given you? How do you experience the adventure, the unbearable beauty of being human, living in God’s creation? This fall, we will take time to explore the holy in our everyday living. We will tell our own stories and discover, as we surely will, the larger story we all live in and the story that is God. We will use the Church Year as a way to explore the sacred experiences of our lives. So, for instance, at one class we will explore the way we each have experienced life eternal/resurrection/rebirth (Easter).

​Class will continue to meet via zoom on Monday afternoons at 4 PM. The schedule for the class is below. If you can’t be at every class, come when you are able. Unlike recent previous classes, there won’t be written materials to read in advance; you may wish to spend some time thinking about your own story of the sacred in the topic for the upcoming class before we meet.
