SUMMARY:Adult Forum
DESCRIPTION:Advent is a time for waiting and anticipation\, but that does not imply that it is easy. Navigating through the darkness\, we stumble on our journey towards Bethlehem. Inspired by scripture\, our church community has created a road map of sorts in the form of a collection of Advent devotionals. Join us at Adult Forum at 8:45 am on December 21st in the Parlor for an informal gathering to share and celebrate this collaborative treasure of hope. If you participated in the project\, you are welcome to speak about your contribution\, but certainly not required to attend. \n

SUMMARY:Adult Forum
DESCRIPTION:How is knowledge connected to faith? Does it comfort or does it challenge? Cultural anthropologist Johannes Fabian distinguished between three types of knowledge: as state\, as possession\, and as activity. What might it mean to engage in the activity of knowledge to deepen our faith? Join us for a discussion of the Christian Century article\, What type of knowledge does the psalmist have? by Peter Choi. Suggested reading: Psalm 62.

SUMMARY:Adult Forum
DESCRIPTION:Native Lands of the Southwest with the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program \nWe all yearn for peace\, but peacemaking is one of our most difficult\, if not overwhelming\, challenges. We are called to work toward justice and reconciliation\, but where to begin?  In 2023 Rev. Judy Dwyer traveled to the American Southwest with the Presbyterian Peacemakers to see some of the things that are hidden from our eyes and prevent us from knowing how to make peace with our Indigenous neighbors.  Join us for a two-week series as Judy offers a look at the complicated role of the church in the history of American Indigenous peoples. Come and see how efforts being made in this context of conflict and injustice are paving the way toward peace. Come away feeling hopeful! \n

SUMMARY:Adult Forum
DESCRIPTION:Larry Rogers\, Farm Director at the Princeton Farminary\, will talk about how hands-on experience with small-scale\, sustainable agriculture is helping theology students understand God’s creation. \nThe Farminary — a former sod and Christmas tree farm on the outskirts of Princeton — has been part of Princeton Seminary for the last 10 years.  It’s a place where theology students practice small-scale agriculture\, learning (among other things) about ecology\, sustainability and food justice\, and about living in a rhythm governed by seasons and the Sabbath. \n

SUMMARY:Adult Forum
DESCRIPTION:Many Christians value the power of prayer\, but is prayer enough? There are Christian activists who dismiss prayer as part of the familiar “thoughts and prayers” offered instead of action or policy change after a disaster. How do we reconcile these competing opinions about the value of prayer and is there possibly a connection between political action and prayer? Read the article Pentecostalism for the people to gain insights to these questions\, then join us at Adult Forum in the Parlor for a deeper dive and discussion. \nhttps://tinyurl.com/34zdjpxx

SUMMARY:Adult Forum
DESCRIPTION:9/14 –  For many of us\, our faith foundation started in a Sunday School classroom in the education wing of our church along with dozens of other children. But with fewer children being born and even fewer attending church\, today’s Sunday school rooms look different as families spend their Sundays on sports fields or elsewhere\, far from church. What comes to mind for you when you consider this decline and what might a “resurrection” of Sunday school look like in our times?  Join us for a discussion of the Christian Century opinion piece The rise and fall of children’s Sunday school. https://tinyurl.com/2c7zb78c
