Adult Religious Education
Adult Religious Education classes provide opportunities to learn how others in the congregation feel about issues as well as times for fellowship and information-gathering.
The Adult Religious Education Committee welcomes your ideas and suggestions for future adult education opportunities at the church. E-mail the Adult Education chair and let them know what you’re thinking.
Book Discussion Group
Reverend Brennan and Terry Jones are co-leading a book discussion group to discuss recent books concerning the role of religion in society. We are considering reading and discussing one or more of the following books: The End of Faith by Sam Harris, The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins , God is not Great by Christopher Hitchens, Breaking the Spell by Daniel Dennet, and Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris. Please email or see Tricia or Terry after church to discuss interest and best times to meet.
Interested in Joining a Support Group?
Ever wish you had others to talk to about big things that are going on
in your life? Do you sometimes wish you had a group to share vague
feelings of dissatisfaction and explore new directions? Is stress sometimes
too much for you. If so, a support group might be helpful.
Support groups generally meet a couple times a month on a regular schedule so participants can share their thoughts and feelings, and experience the caring presence of others. Participants don’t try to solve or judge one another’s problems, but instead simply listen with an open heart and mind. While members don’t offer each other advice, they might offer a question or share a feeling in response.
Our congregation has two support groups that are open to new members on an occasional basis. We’re wondering if there are additional folks who might like to be included in a new, third group. If you’re interested in being in a support group, please contact Rev. Brennan, 781-784-9460.
Small Group Ministry
Over the last year a few of us have attended meetings of a group dedicated
to small group ministry. The small group ministry program is a means
of learning the minds and hearts of fellow congregants. It provides
a venue for listening and speaking thoughtfully at a level we are normally
unable to do during our busy hectic days. The learning is from a set
format. A topic is chosen from a publication which is supplied for
the purpose of these discussions. The set format consists of the lighting
of the chalice, a reading, answering (you may pass) several questions
based on the theme of the session. There is pretty much no home work
for the sessions. The work for the group leader is to select a topic
from the small group ministry publication. We are opening the group
to new members. The sessions are one-and-one-half hours long. Please
consider joining us if you would like. Contact Gary Webber or Liz Moore
if you are interested.
