School of Christian Growth, Fall, 2024

The School for Christian Growth is happy to offer two new six-week classes beginning on Tuesday, September 10. They are Spiritual Journaling, led by Peter Bankson and Joan Dodge and An Unholy Trinity: Sin, Salvation, and the Afterlife, led by Marjory Bankson and John Morris.

AN UNHOLY TRINITY: Sin, Salvation & the Afterlife

In Person: Tuesday nights, Sept 10-Oct 15

  • What does salvation mean?
  • What were you taught about “being saved”? 
  • Saved from what? For what?
  • And how do we understand these words — sin, salvation and the afterlife — today?

Bring your questions, imagination and creativity to this in-person class for a lively exploration of your theological worldview and why that matters.

We will meet in person beginning with a simple meal together at 6:30 and class at 7:00 to 8:30 pm.

Led by Marjory Bankson and John Morris.

SPIRITUALJOURNALING: A Journey of Self Discovery & Knowing God with Others

On Zoom: Tuesday nights, Sept 10-Oct 15

Keeping a spiritual journal is one of the practices that can help us on a path to deepen our spiritual life, become more aware of ourselves, be more open to God and better able to hear God’s love and transforming Word for us and the wider world. We will explore these questions:

  • Are there journaling practices that can help me discover and grow beyond my blind spots?
  • Can I trust in God’s transforming power and loving presence to help me know my genuine self?
  • How can I start or re-start this practice and stay energized to continue writing over time?

We will meet on Zoom from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. You’ll receive an email with the link on Tuesday 9/10 afternoon.

Led by Joan Dodge and Peter Bankson.
