Adult Education on Sunday Morning
For much of this year, the adult class will use the adult curriculum, Confirm not Conform. It covers the breadth of the Christian tradition, encouraging and prodding adults to explore an authentic faith. The class should be helpful and interesting to all adults, no matter where they are in their faith journey. Parents of young people pursuing confirmation are particularly urged to participate. Sign up this Sunday in the undercroft. Classes begin September 22.

What Did You Do This Summer? 
It’s not too late to post some memento of your summer on the bulletin board in the undercroft.
