Adult Forum and Bible Study.
Adult Forum runs from September to May and meets Sundays at 9:00 am in a hybrid format. We gather to read and discuss books that reflect on social issues through a Christian lens. At the conclusion of each book, the group seeks out ways to put what they have learned into action to better minister to all of God’s people. Past topics have included environmental justice, disability advocacy, transgender rights, and anti-racism.
The current book is always available in the parish hall lobby, for a suggested donation of $15, if your budget allows.
by Mikaela Loach · A suggested donation of $15 is appreciated. Copies are available in the parish hall lobby.
For too long, representations of climate action in the mainstream media have been white-washed, green-washed and diluted to be made compatible with capitalism. In It’s Not That Radical, Loach addresses head-on the issues at the root of the climate crisis.
As Loach shows, we are living in an economic system which pursues profit above all else; harmful, oppressive systems that heavily contribute to the climate crisis, and environmental consequences that have been toned down to the masses. Tackling the climate crisis requires us to visit the roots of poverty, capitalist exploitation, police brutality, and legal injustice. Climate justice offers the real possibility of huge leaps towards racial equality and collective liberation as it aims to dismantle the very foundations of these issues.
Written with candor and hope, It’s Not That Radical will galvanize readers to take action, offering a practical and transformative appraisal of our circumstances to help mobilize a majority for the future of our planet.

Bible Study meets Tuesdays at 1:00 pm in a hybrid format. Each week, we gather to “hear, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest” passages from scripture. The group also always spends time in prayer lifting up the concerns and thanksgivings of all who are gathered.
