Pastor Kathy generally co-facilitates with a Church member. Sometimes there are special guests that address topics of interest.

There is 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. Come and join us!

“Framework for Understanding Poverty”

On May 11th and 18th, Charley Kendall will be leading the adult forums with a discussion from Ruby Payne’s works on poverty: Framework for Understanding Poverty and Bridges Out of Poverty. He will review the framework laid out in these books and draw on his years of experience as a physician working with people from poverty to talk about how learning these concepts has really helped him better understand the lives and needs of his patients.

The first book, “Framework”, was written for educators, and the concepts in that book were expanded in “Bridges” to be helpful to anyone who works with people from poverty. Both books contain the same concepts relating to understanding poverty. Copies of both books will available in the church office in May if you would like to borrow one.
