Adult Religious Education
All offerings are held at the Fellowship.
The following classes are offered in our Spring Adult Religious Education program. These classes are summarized in our Events Listing. Dates that are struck through are completed dates in an ongoing series.
- Spirit in Practice: Exploring Spiritual Practice (see dates below)
-
This program is designed to help each of us develop a set of practices
of the spirit that connect us to the sacred ground of our being, regardless
of our theological beliefs. In our "free and responsible search," it's
helpful to have guideposts, discipline, and colleagues along the way.
In ten workshop sessions, you'll have the opportunity to deepen your spirituality and affirm your spiritual growth as we explore and share new ways to nurture our connections to the sacred in everyday life.
