| WITH ALL YOUR MIND ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL Jerry Bullard |
| Sundays at 9:00am, Upper Conference Room |
| “The class membership has traditionally been a group of “seekers,” supporting one-another toward continuing spiritual growth, exploring and embracing the scholarship associated with our sacred texts, and questioning and discussing how we can live as Christians, carrying out the teachings of Jesus, in our contemporary society and historical world setting. This is a group that is open to asking the important questions of faith and accepts that each of us is on our own spiritual journey. This year we are viewing videos of sermons from All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California. The sermons are very recent and focused on social justice. Our format for the class is to watch a 10 to 20 minute video and then spend the rest of the hour discussing both the Biblical references and the content of the video as it pertains to our faith search. |
