SUMMARY:The Christian Experiment
DESCRIPTION:The Christian Experiment is participating in One Church One Book for the season of Lent. More information below.\nThe Third Day: Living the Resurrection\nMarch 9-Holy Week\nEach spring\, our church chooses a common book which everyone is invited to read. This year\, our book is Tom Berlin’s The Third Day. Dedicated teachers offer classes on various days and times during the week\, both in-person and via Zoom. \nTo guide us on our journey of reflection and preparation\, Tom Berlin’s book puts the devastating experience of Jesus’ followers after the Crucifixion. When it appeared to them that Jesus was dead\, they all faced despair. But when Jesus reappears\, they take new hope and move forward to launch a world-wide movement. In addition to exploring the biblical characters’ feelings\, the author interlaces contemporary stories of people facing hopelessness and despair and finding renewal in Christ. It offers inspiration to us in our own trying times. The book is available at the church office for $10.00 per copy or through Realm. Please email class teachers for Zoom information.

SUMMARY:Social Justice Intersections Group: The Wetlands\, Caring for our Neighbor. With guest speaker\, Paul Botts\, President and Executive Director of The Wetlands Initiative
DESCRIPTION:On January 19 during Adult Education time\, First Church will hear from Paul Botts\, executive director of The Wetlands Initiative\, about restoring marshes and other wetlands in our area. \nEven though we live beside the Great Lakes\, the greatest freshwater bodies in the world\, clean water is a precious resource. We all need to reduce our use to save clean water in a warming environment. Here are some tips to reduce your water use at home: \n• First\, take shorter showers and turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. Small changes like these add up! \n• Save and reuse water when running your faucet to get hot water. You can use this for watering plants\, for example. \n• Attach a rain barrel to your downspout and collect rainwater to use for watering outdoor plants. (Be sure the top of the barrel has a tight mesh screen over the opening to prevent mosquitoes from breeding there.) \n• Replace faucets and shower heads with low flow versions. New\, water efficient toilets also use much less water than older ones. \n• Run your washing machine only when you have a full load. \n• Maintain your appliances. Check for and repair any water leaks. \nSmall changes at home can help our region retain precious fresh water. And to learn more about the importance of water\, be sure to attend the Wetlands Initiative presentation on January 19th at 9:15 a.m.!

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:Winter 2025 Inquirers Class
DESCRIPTION:The Inquirers Class is an intentional exploration of the people and ministries of First Church\, the United Methodist Church (theology\, structure\, current issues)\, and an opportunity to reflect on our individual and collective faith journeys. The class\, which is primarily led by Pastor Grace Imathiu and Mary Taylor-Johnson\, is interactive in nature\, as we believe building community among those present is as important as the “content.” \nIn 2025\, the Inquirers Class will be offered twice:\nWinter Class\nJanuary 26-March 2\, 9:15-10:15am \nSpring Class\nApril 27-June 1\, 11:45am-1:30pm\nLunch provided. No class Memorial Day weekend. \nFeel free to contact Mary Taylor-Johnson at mary@faithatfirst.com with any questions.
