This coming Sunday we have a very special class with Jane Walton leading us in an interactive exploration of the Labyrinth (see details below).   

Our usual Sunday class is a journey through the Bible using The Path.  Occasionally, we branch off The Path as noted in the schedule below.  The Path is the story of the Bible, excerpted in a format that is clear & easy to read. To prime our pumps for discussion, please read the Chapter and its Questions for the Journey from The Path before the assigned Sunday. You are always welcome to attend class whether you have done the assigned reading or not.
