Classes are free and open to all. We serve a light vegetarian dinner before the class, for which we request a $5 donation. We value the conversation and sense of community we share during the meal and clean-up and find it deepens our connection to the classes that follow. Dinner starts at 6:45 and classes begin at 7:30.
We generally offer two classes per term, which are now online. You need not be a member of Seekers Church to participate.
Summer Fun Book Group—”Twelve and One-Half Keys,” 6/17, 6/24 and 7/1
Summer Fun Book Group—”Twelve and One-Half Keys,” 6/17, 6/24 and 7/1
Led by Cynthia Dahlin
You are invited to an in-person School for Christian Growth class encouraging “summer reading”—fun, light, but leaving you with a feeling of shared joy. Edward Hays writes books in short parables, and I am asking you to buy or borrow his “Twelve and One-Half Keys” and only read it in short bites, stopping to note how the parables make you feel, what you think the parables mean, and what you think the metaphors are. Believe it or not, his easy-reading books changed my view of the Gospels so much more than many years of seminary.
We are going to try a daytime format for this class, so when you sign up please tell us if you CAN attend at either of these times:
(A) 12 noon brown-bag lunch and 1:00-2:30 class
(B) 5 PM class followed by a 6:30 brown bag supper.
(Please don’t just indicate your preferred time, but whether you can or cannot attend.)
Send me (John) an email at morrisjr@concast.net if you’d like to attend, with the info Cynthia has requested — thanks!
Matrix – An SCG Book Study (Not that Matrix!)
Matrix – A Book Study (Not that Matrix!)
Leader: Brenda Seat
Tuesdays: March 25-April 29, 2025 – In Person with simple meal at 6:30, class 7-8:30f pm
Matrix, by Lauren Groff, is a novel about the 12th century mystic and poet, Marie de France, who for political reasons was exiled to an English nunnery. It is a story of a woman coming to terms with the limited choices she was given in life, deepening her faith and empowering and leading the women of her community to become a beacon of light in a corrupt and unjust world. We will explore what it means to be resilient, faithful, cunning and ambitious in a world that does not value what women have to offer.
