Adult Faith Exploration is your place to develop life-long spiritual growth and knowledge. Each class and event explores a broad range of topics dealing with faith, spirituality and religious issues. Participants pray with one another, dive into the deeper meaning of scripture, exchange ideas on intriguing questions, and listen carefully to the words of modern sages who embody the teachings of Christ from various perspectives (and sometimes from other faith traditions). All are welcome!
Check out our upcoming Adult Faith Exploration opportunities below.
Fall 2026 Book Study
Join Adult Faith Exploration starting on September 13th, for an exciting new book study! We will meet in the library at 9 AM.
We will read “And the Sea Was No More: Reading the Bible in the Deep.” Michael Curry, former presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, says this about the book: “Scripture comes alive in this personal, powerful message to all who at times feel alone and overwhelmed, reminding us that our loving, liberating, and life-giving God is with us―especially when we may not feel it.”
Please contact Saoirse if you want the church to order a book on your behalf. The book will be available in e-book format, but not in paperback or in audible format.
A Zoom link is available upon request.
Eden Scripture Circles
Join us every month for our Eden Scripture Circle. We gather in the library for an afternoon of fellowship and Bible study.
In October’s Scripture Circle, we explored Jonah 1, in which Jonah flees from his God-given assignment to prophesy to the people of Nineveh. Instead, he hides in the bowels of a ship that is beset by a fierce storm and is ultimately thrown into the sea, which calms the storm.
In November, we will explore Jonah 4, in which Jonah is angry and God asks Jonah an important question. The chapter explores the underlying tension between our human desire for strict justice and loyalty, and God’s compassion for all of God’s creation.
Mark your calendars, all are welcome! A Zoom link is available upon request.
Days of Delight
Join Saorise in Golden on Thursday evenings Days of Delight!
We will take advantage of the warm evenings to walk a labyrinth and engage in a contemplative practice together. What kind of contemplative practice? “Lightly held. Poetry. Brief free writing. Words. Images. Memories. Art. Trees. Music. Breathing. Conversation. Imagination. Gentle. Stretching. Slow. I need and want to do this for myself, and greatly enjoy companions along the way. I will facilitate, with deep joy.”
The event begins at 6:00 PM, but guests can drop in or drop out, as they choose. The event is also available on Zoom.
