Adult Formation

All sessions are at 10:00 am in the Library.

What is a prophet called to do in today’s world? Do you wonder why we worship as we do and why others don’t now or didn’t in the past? Considering what happens when you die or how you should prepare for death? Summer adult formation has a range of offerings for you.
