»Adult Christian Formation at 9 a.m. on Sunday
 Formation
of a Christian life is serious stuff that won't work if we take ourselves
too seriously.
Formation seeks to balance 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. It hopes to move us in
this common effort to say, "Do you think we could?"
as opposed to, "Do I have to?"
Classes and study groups during the
9 a.m. Christian education hour on
Sunday mornings and during the week provide a variety of opportunities for
spiritual growth. Forums are planned for outstanding
speakers and community leaders to share their ideas on Sunday mornings. Child care
is provided for infants and toddlers,
and education for preschool and
kindergarten-aged children is available during the 9 a.m. Christian education hour.
Discovery
Bible Class
The Discovery Bible Class meets
every Sunday at 9 a.m. in Room 330
(northwest corner of the top floor). The Discovery Bible Group brings varied points of
view to a discussion of the Biblical readings of the week from the
inter-church National Council of Churches Uniform Series. Touching each book
of scripture over a six-year cycle, the class includes intensive examination
of each of the Gospels.
Led by Bruce Danielson. Call Bruce at (206) 282-7498 for more information.
Inviting
Silence
Using the peaceful setting of

meditation, brief discussion and quiet, and recorded music on topics related
to meditational practice.
