Adult Ed, Through Oct 18, 9:45am

Revs. Ashley Birk and San Williams lead a 4-week adult ed series based on the book Being Presbyterian in a Dysvangelical America. The book provides an accessible overview of what distinguishes core Presbyterian beliefs and practices from that of the loud voices of Christian Nationalism. Classes dates are Sep 20 & 27 and Oct 11 & 18.

Join us at 9:45am in McFarland Chapel or on Zoom.

The class schedule and topics are:

• Sep 20: Discussion of Introduction “Grace Is Our Word,” Chapter 1 “The Bible Is Authoritative, Not Literal,” and Chapter 2 “Faith and Salvation Are Gifts, Not Transactions”
• Sep 27: Discussion of Chapter 3 “Discipleship Is a Lifelong Conversion, Not a Rulebook” and Chapter 4 “Shaped for Community, Not for Individuality” (Led by Rev. San Williams)
• [Oct 4: World Communion First Sunday Worship; no Adult Education]
• Oct 11: Discussion of Chapter 5 “The Future Is Hopeful, Not Something to Fear” and Chapter 6 “God’s Truth Is Evolving, Not Stagnant”
