SUMMARY:Adult Education Class- The Christian Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Ever had doubts? If you are like most\, you have. Ever had doubts about Christian faith? Many of us have. In a recent study at a leading United Methodist Church\, 95 percent of believers stated they struggle with doubt occasionally and 24 percent stated they struggle with doubt regularly. This same study also found that 44 percent believed their doubts helped them find or strengthen their faith. \nBeginning on January 5\, The Christian Experiment will discuss doubts. These doubts could be yours or someone you know. We will use some of Adam Hamilton’s work on doubt to help our discussions. You can find information about Adam Hamilton’s book Wrestling with Doubt here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsZPC_bsFcg \nWeekly Meeting Schedule\nJanuary 5 – Is There a God?\nJanuary 12 – The Good Book? Wrestling with the Bible\nJanuary 19 – Are All Non-Christians Going to Hell?\nJanuary 26 – Is Heaven Real?\nFebruary 2 – When Prayers Go Unanswered\nFebruary 9 – Why Do the Innocent Suffer? \nThe Christian Experiment meets every Sunday morning at 9:15 am in Glenna Hall. There is no required reading\, homework\, or other expectations. Feel free to come to one meeting or all over the next six weeks. We are an open and welcoming group seeking to engage one another in Christian fellowship!

SUMMARY:Lent Contemplative Prayer Group
DESCRIPTION:Lent Contemplative Prayer Group In the 1960s\, the well-known Trappist monk\, Thomas Merton\, brought contemplative practice out of the cloister into the realm of ordinary people. In the 1970s\, Father Thomas Keating developed a form of contemplative practice called centering prayer; and John Main\, a Benedictine monk\, advocated a practice of contemplative meditation. We will be utilizing the small group format for contemplative practice outlined in the book “Where Two or Three Are Gathered” by Rev. Daniel Prechtel with an emphasis on lectio (reading)\, meditatio (meditation)\, oratio (prayer)\, and contemplatio (contemplation). The contemplative practice group will meet on Mondays\, March 10th – April 14th during Lent\, from 10:30am-11:30am on zoom and will be facilitated by Glynis Doyle and Maryellen Scott. If you have any questions\, would like to receive an outline of the format of the class\, or would like to register\, you can contact Glynis at dleedoyle@gmail.com.
