Adult Education Opportunities:

Sunday Adult Forums

Learning and discussion to help us live our faith
9:30 Sunday Mornings

All Are Welcome!

Each Sunday during the education hour, 9:30 to 10:30, we have an Adult Forum. All adults are welcome. Come any or every Sunday. Many people arrive late or leave early, so stop in as you can. This can be a very informal way to get to know people, and you canalways look forward to some very thought-provoking sessions.

Pastor Kathy generally co-facilitates the conversation with a Peace Church member or a special guest. Each week the conversation addresses a different topic of interest. There is always a wonderful array of people at Adult Forum. Some are very knowledgeable about the Christian faith and offer a treasury of information. Some come with little background and ask the questions we are probably all thinking, but are afraid to ask. Some are of strong faith, and some are wondering if they have any faith at all. Some have been at Peace Church since the dawn of time, and some have just walked in the door for the first time.

Try it out. The coffee is always on.

February 5 – Together we can build a stronger health care system in Minnesota. Liz Olson, Congregational Outreach Worker for CHUM, will tell us how CHUM has been engaged in organizing work around health care over the last few years, from the cuts to General Assistance Medical Care to the current efforts with the development of the Minnesota Health Benefits Exchange. This is a rich opportunity to improve the health and health care of thousands of Minnesotans. The Exchange can be used to fully realize coverage expansion of the Affordable Care Act, to set higher standards for cost and quality in our health care system, and to address social and racial inequalities in health. We believe that the voice of those who will rely on the Exchange for health care should be the same voice that is used to shape the development and govern the Exchange once developed.

February 12 – The Open & Affirming Committee invites the congregation to gather for a discussion of the proposed resolution for a Marriage Policy at Peace Church that respects and honors ALL marriages, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

February 19 – Deb Holman, outreach worker with CHUM and the Human Development Center, will talk about her work with folks who are homeless in Duluth and the results of the Homeless Count which happened on January 28th.

February 26 – Introduction to the “Women, War & Peace” series, which will be held at Peace Church starting Monday February 27. Each week we will watch a segment of this PBS series followed by discussion led by folks from our community with connections to the various locations described in the series.
