Adult Forum will resume the Sunday after Easter.
April 16
This will be Pr. Merle’s last Adult Forum presentation with us as he completes his interim ministry at Bethel. Concluding his series on the parables, he asks “Are there any that disturb or bother you?” Some of the parables that he will discuss with us are these: The Parable of the Sower. “Is this about the seed, or the soil?” The Parable of the Generous Vineyard Owner. “So, working harder gets you no considerations?” The Parable of the “Friend” at Midnight and the Parable of the Unjust Judge. “I don’t get what I need because I’m a good neighbor or a nice little old lady, but rather because I’m persistent and obnoxious?”
April 23
Bethel member Kristina Stierholz will reflect on her personal “Journey of Spiritual Exploration.”
April 30
Dr. Leigh Schmidt, Washington University Distinguished Professor in the Humanities and faculty at the Danforth Center on Religion and Politics, will lead a presentation and discussion on “Being Spiritual but not Religious or Church-Goers.”
