Adult Education Program - 2010-2011
|
Our Adult Education program features members of Christ Church and specially invited guests exploring critical issues and sharing their passions and expertise through discussion, workshops and lectures. We schedule most of these events for Sunday during coffee hour between our two worship services, in Lile Hall (behind our sanctuary) or Barnwell Hall (adjacent to our atrium). Friends and visitors from outside Christ Church are welcome at all events. Of course, new ideas and opportunities come up frequently, so consider this schedule a work in progress. Please contact you have suggestions or ideas for other possible programming. And please let us know your reaction to any events you attend. |
| Quest Group: Join us for monthly discussion about a spiritual book – in Lile Hall at Christ Church, either on Monday mornings or Thursday evenings. Email for more information. There is free child care in the nursery during our discussions. |
