CHRISTIAN FORMATION
ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL ~ 9:30 AM
Sunday Adult Education Round Table
This Sunday we are finishing our study of Verna Dozier's book,
The Dream of God: A Call to Return,
by learning about the persistence of God's dream for creation. The church has often missed the mark of showing the creation how to live God's dream of "a friendly world of friendly folk beneath a friendly sky." That dream can easily get lost when the church's concern becomes buildings, staff flow charts and membership growth. But, somehow and someway God's dream is still there. The last chapter is a look at "The Persistence of the Dream" (pages 91-114). Join in the discussion of how we can assist God in transforming the world. For more information you may contact David Starling by phone or text at (850) 712-0977 or by emailing
dastarling@cox.net
.
This class meets upstairs in Rm. 32 of the Christian Education Building. Led by David Starling.
Sunday Centering Prayer Group —
Centering Prayer is a method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, in which we experience God's presence within us. We begin by taking a few minutes to go over the basic guidelines of the practice for anyone who is new. We then sit together in the 20-minute prayer period, followed by a brief time for sharing and intercessory prayer. All are welcome — newcomers and experienced practitioners.
This class meets in the Centering Prayer room on the administrative hallway. The facilitator is Joan White.
NURSERY ~ 7:45 AM - 12:15 PM
Infants - 2 yrs. old — Nursery, first floor of the Christian Ed Bldg.
Infants — Rm. 24, first floor of the Christian Ed. Bldg.
Preschool Toddlers — Ages 2 & 3 — Rm. 21, first floor of the Christian Ed. Bldg.
Bible lessons are provided each week during the 10:30 service.

ALTAR FLOWER MEMORIALS
Each week our worship service is enhanced with beautiful fresh flowers. After the Sunday services, the altar flower arrangements are reworked into smaller arrangements. These arrangements are delivered to members of our parish family that are unable to attend a Sunday service. The altar flowers are a memorial, a thanksgiving for an anniversary, a birthday, a new birth, or a thanksgiving for God's blessings. The donation is listed in the weekly bulletin. Forms to participate in this ministry are available on the information table in the Parish Office.
