JAN 11 - FEB 15 | SUNDAYS AT 9:15AM | MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM
This adult Christian formation series on prayer explores prayer as both personal devotion and communal practice, moving from biblical foundations to spiritual traditions, practical daily disciplines, and the role of prayer in discipleship and service. Through scripture study, guided discussion, and shared experience, participants engage diverse forms of prayer—such as contemplative silence, intercession, and liturgy—while learning to understand prayer as a posture of openness, listening, and transformation that strengthens community, nurtures compassion, and sustains lifelong Christian faith and witness.

FEB 22 - MAR 29 | SUNDAYS AT 9:15AM | MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM
Throughout Lent, pastors and staff will lead an engaging series taking members deeper into this season and the rich layers of our Lenten liturgy. Together we will explore the meaning of Ash, Wednesday, the distinctive character of Lenten music, and the theological purpose behind each of the Holy Week services—from Palm Sunday to Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.

How has the Reformed tradition practiced faithful resistance in the past? All of these questions and more will e unpacked in the new class “Who Is My Neighbor: Faith & Resistance” starting April 12.
