Study Opportunities

This Fall, join us for after-worship forums. The first, on September 29th will be led by Rev. Ben Guess, UCC national staffperson for mission communication and education. Ben will preach and lead a forum on empowering congregations for mission. Other Sunday forums will address the relationship between religion and aging. In winter, Donna Cavedon will lead a Tuesday morning study series focused on the book The Way of Forgiveness by Marjorie Thompson. In the Spring, a study series about United Church of Christ history and polity will be led by Rev. Dr. Avery Post, past president of the United Church of Christ.

Film Series

Throughout the year, we will show six movies with a common theme: the impact of religion on different aspects of society and our lives. The first in the series is on October 11 when we will show Elmer Gantry. Join us for a night at the movies!
