Dive into Engaging Topics this May at Our Adult Forum
We have an exciting lineup for our Adult Forum this month at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Moorestown, NJ. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- May 4 – Memories of 75 Years. Gather for an informal time of sharing memories from St. Matthew over the years.
- May 11 – Who Was Bonhoeffer? Over the past year there have been many different groups trying to claim association with German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed by the Nazi regime at the end of World War II. The different groups and films have portrayed very different pictures of this influential Lutheran theologian. Come learn more about who he was, what he believed, and why he continues to be important.
