| Education Christian Ed Corner - by the C.E. Team Christian Education at Northminster Presbyterian
Church this year will follow the Lectionary calendar from the pulpit
to Children's Time to the Sunday Church School classroom for ages
3 through adult. We have adopted “Seasons of the Spirit,”
a reformed international lectionary-based church school curriculum
that “builds strong faith communities by centering the ministries
of Christian education, worship, and service around common scriptures
each week.” Through use of activities, discussion, current
events and the arts, we hope to be “on the same page”
together each week from September 2005 through May 2006. You may
preview our new curriculum at www.spiritseasons.com
or by stopping by the Christian Education office. |
From the Adult Ministry Committee
Why Adult Education?
The Church, challenged first by Christ and His teachings, obligated to/by our mission, mandated by the Book of Order, and historically called, has routinely and systematically educated in and for the faith. This educating takes form certainly in worship and carries through with church school, mid-week programs, and in some cases a parochial school. Please note that this educating (i.e., growing in THE faith, one's faith and response) has no age limits. Northminster does a great job in worship and children's and youth's education. We are on the margin when it comes to Adult Education, particularly on Sunday mornings. It's time to step up and for a change. The Adult Ministry Committee is preparing to challenge each member to seriously consider changing their mind-set, if already not in that mode, and commit two hours to being at church each Sunday – worship and . . . worship and music/choir, worship and teaching, worship and adult ed class attendance. (Our goal – start slowly and continually add seminar offerings in the years to come – we welcome your input.)
Thank you,
