Class Descriptions:
- Embracing the Prophets (Conference Room): Who were the Prophets? Were they ancient meddlers who enjoyed prognosticating about future events? Were they social activists crying out for reform? Or, were they messengers from God, standing in judgment over the political and religious leaders of the times? To find the answers, join a study by Dr. Walter Brueggemann, facilitated by George Harper.
- Advent in the Home (Baker Parlor): Christmas has increasingly become a holiday cut off from its purpose of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. It is, therefore, important for us to recapture the season of Advent as a time for preparing for Christmas. Advent comes from the Latin word adventus, meaning “coming.” Advent begins the church year, starting four Sundays before Christmas. The season of Advent has been set aside as a time of preparation for Christmas since at least the last half of the 6th century. Advent is a time for self-examination and asking for forgiveness as the church is preparing for Christ’s Second Coming even as it prepares for Christmas. Join Susan Allen as she presents some different and meaningful ways to bring Advent into your home this year.
- Crafty for Christmas (Staff Lounge): Love this time of year but feel like you never have time to do all those fun and creative Christmas ideas you found on Pinterest? Just show up and we will create some holiday crafts to make all your friends think you are the next Martha Stewart. Led by Annie Burton. For ages 12 - 122.
