September 22: How to Disagree with Respect–not Hate

Pastor Kent and Pastor Tim will spend this class having us consider the way we, as Christians, will show up throughout the remainder of this election cycle. There are unhealthy habits and language that weigh many down adding to the polarization that shows up in our communities, families and friendships. There are healthier postures we can lean into that may not change your mind, but neither will they intentionally or unintentionally lead to greater discord in relationships.

September 29, October 6, 20 & 27, November 10 & 17: Flourishing in the Final Third of Life

Tim Jasperse and Pastor Tim will facilitate a class that focuses on how we will live into the final third of life. Will it have purpose and meaning? Will your relationships grow or shrink? How will your spiritual life continue to adapt to a new season of life? What’s the impact of your physical health on your sense of overall satisfaction of life? You leave each session with ‘homework’ to do for the following week. Your homework will consists of some reflection and trying out the development of new habits. The materials we will use are from Fuller Seminary De Pree Center. The two Tims went through the course last Fall in preparation for this class. If you’re younger, consider this an opportunity to apply it to the middle third of life. We can all learn from one another. There are printed work books available for $15 per book. There is also an electronic workbook available.
