Explore New Opportunities & Ideas
In the Forum Class, we seek to “grow deeper in Christ to reach farther in love.”
Sometimes we look at our faith roots through Bible studies or explorations of our Christian heritage.
Sometimes we look out into our community or the world, hearing from community leaders of those we support through our mission giving, or discussing ethical and community issues where our faith meets the needs and concerns of the world.
The Forum meets on select Sundays from 9:15AM to 10:15AM from mid-September to mid-June in the Community Room.
Past Classes Include:
Professor Jennifer Koosed offered three classes on the origins of Judaism and Islam and current day issues in the Middle East.
Congregation member Shawn Smolsky offered two classes on the state of the environment and sustainable environmental practices, including funding opportunities.
Our health ministry team brought us speakers from local agencies to inform us on various health related topics and bereavement support.
