The Adult Forum is held from 9:15-10:15 AM on Sunday mornings in the church library and can be accessed through Zoom. All are welcome to join as you are able.
Join us for a new Adult Forum series on controversial or difficult topics within Christian circles.
Can we understand the concerns of different sides so that we can have a nuanced conversation about them? What do the Bible and Christian tradition, particularly the Lutheran tradition, have to say on these issues? Come to listen, learn, and discuss. The goal is to have a basic understanding of the issues and to determine which ones might be worth engaging in deeper conversation. Join in person or on Zoom.
Talking About Things We Don’t Talk About:
September 21st—Mental Health
Why is mental health so difficult to discuss in church? For many, the answer is complicated, tangled in stigma and the well-meaning but often unhelpful advice to simply “pray more.” In the first session of our new series, we will open a compassionate conversation about mental and emotional well-being.
September 28th—Christian Nationalism
Our series continues with a look at Christian Nationalism. We will explore the various definitions of the term and discuss its role in contemporary society and faith. Join us as we seek to understand different perspectives through thoughtful and respectful conversation.
October 5th—Sanctuary Congregations
In the final session of this series, we will discuss the topic of Sanctuary Congregations. What does it mean for a church to be a sanctuary? We will explore the biblical and theological foundations for this practice and learn about its modern-day implications.
