»Adult Christian Formation
Formation
of a Christian life is serious stuff that won't work if we take ourselves
too seriously. For the most part, formation is about becoming - being
centered and grounded so that we can fly, or at least jump a little. It's
about being kind and gentle, aware and focused with ourselves and our
neighbors.
Formation balances the intellectual content of faith with the deeper
resources of our shared experience. It informs not only the mind but the
heart and all the rest of us.
Classes and study groups during the
9 a.m. Christian education hour on
Sunday mornings and during the week provide varied opportunities for
spiritual growth. Forums are planned for outstanding
speakers and community leaders to share their ideas on Sunday mornings. Child care for infants and toddlers,
and education for preschool and
kindergarten-aged children is available during the Christian education hour.
