The Adult Spiritual Education committee will host a one-hour Bible Workbench on Sunday, March 3, starting at 9:30 a.m. in the Community Room. We will discuss Luke 9: 28-36, 37-43: times of preparation, confirmation, commitment and (again) confirmation. Liminal spaces. Here is a question from the materials we use (from The Education Center’s “Reading Between the Lines”): “What is it to be weighed down with sleep, but still awake? What things might one see, hear, say or do in this state that one might not when fully awake?” Depending on the context, what are both the costs and/or the gifts of being in this state? You don’t have to read the scripture in advance in order to participate.

Please join us on Sunday morning, February 24th at 9:30 for the next ASE session focused on writing: The Body and the Lyric.How does reading a poem out loud deepen and extend our understanding of it? What happens if we “speak” the poem as if we had “written” it–or as if it were something inside of us that we’re discovering consciously by speaking it out loud? What are the differences–and similarities–between an “author” and a “speaker?” Facilitated by Leslie Shiel, we’ll hear, read, speak, and discuss several poems published by a variety of poets.
