Sunday Morning Adult Learning Communities

All are welcome to the Sunday Morning Adult Learning Communities that meet weekly between worship services, September 18, 2011, through May 22, 2012, except on Sundays with only one service. You can participate in a Learning Community for any one Sunday session or attend on a regular weekly basis.

Contemporary Theologies (Room 209)
Have you noticed how often confusing moral dilemmas come up these days, and how hard it is to put your convictions into words? Are you ever frustrated when people seem to be doing wrong, yet claim to be guided by "Christian Values?" Would you like to become a clearer moral thinker and a more articulate advocate?  If so, please join us at one or more of our weekly discussions, guided by The Cambridge Companion to Christian Ethics, Robin Gill, Ed., Cambridge University Press, 2001. If that sounds too serious, just stand outside the door and hear how often we laugh! Please order the book on your own. Contact: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Coffee and Contemporary Issues (Study 1)
The group mutually chooses topics from those issues that are in the forefront of the concerns of church and society to explore and discussions are then based on readings, videos and presentations by guest speakers from both within and without Mayflower. Contact: Ann Croaston (612) 822-4409

Women's Spirituality (Room 203)
A circle of women who collectively explore the feminine face of God through ritual, readings, meditation, and walking the Labyrinth. Contact: Janet Trip (612) 926-1554 or Renee Carey (612) 729-9502

Caring for Creation (Room 215)
The focus of the group is learning about: issues that impact the earth, making sustainable lifestyle decisions, changing the culture from consumption to respectful stewardhip, and learning ways we can support the Earth movement locally and globally. We also acknowledge connection to the seasons, the elements, and all God's creatures informs our faith and enriches our lives. Contact: Teddie Potter (612) 822-5669
