Our Adult Forum provides weekly opportunity to discuss issues of theology, Bible and current affairs and meets on Sunday mornings (except during the summer) from 9:15 to 10:15. Coffee and donuts are served.

Forum topics are varied and range in from one-time sessions to a four-week-long series. The forum is conducted in an atmosphere of acceptance where differing views are welcomed and respected. Materials are presented by lecture, videotape, Power Point, CDs and through guest speakers who are knowledgeable in their fields.

Some topics covered in recent months:

• Why the Bible cannot be interpreted literally  

• MAY 2009

Presenter: Pastor Susan
