AdultS

Christian education opportunities for adults to GROW TOGETHER are available weekly at Morningside Presbyterian — and not just on Sunday mornings. In addition to the classes described below that meet at 9:45 a.m. on Sundays, there are often one-time special programs or learning opportunities to be had with a number of the groups that also regularly meet for fellowship (you can read more about those adult groups here). We explore biblical, theological, spiritual and ethical topics together in these varied offerings. Brief descriptions of of our regular Sunday opportunities follow, but you should be sure to look for announcements on this site (check the Events link), and read the back of the Bulletin on Sundays and the midweek eNews@Morningside email for special dates and offerings that may be available.

SUNDAY MORNINGS

Faith Development

This open group—led by experienced members, with frequent special speakers—meets each Sunday in Room 201. This is a great class to drop-in and visit on any Sunday, or to come weekly. Study focus changes throughout the year, covering everything from faith and politics or theological ideas, like forgiveness, to book studies. This class is blessed to have thoughtful, engaging volunteers leading different topics and promoting stimulating discussion in the group. Current topics and studies can usually be found by checking a copy of the latest midweek eNews@Morningside email (click here to see a copy).

DEVOTIONAL DROP IN

This group gathers week the Session Room for a time of casual discussion of scripture or a book chosen by the group. The highlight of Devo Drop In is the chance to check in with highs & lows from the week.

WEEKDAY GATHERINGS

PARTNER WITH THE PREACHER

This online group gathers over ZOOM on Mondays from 9:00 a.m.-10:00 am to explore the scripture passage for the coming week with the preacher. No homework, prep-work, or experience is required. Everyone—including the preacher—enters the text with fresh eyes and a chance to explore God's Word together. Those who participate find their experience of hearing the sermon the following Sunday enhanced by this deep dive into the scripture passage for the week. To join, email Rev. Katie Owen Aumann for the link.

CENTERING PRAYER

Space is made each week for anyone to participate in this ancient prayer practice. Centering prayer is a prayer not of attention but of intention in which you sit in silence allowing yourself to simply be in God's presence. Gather in the Sanctuary on Thursdays at 12:00 p.m. for a time of centering prayer; then bring your lunch and join in a time of fellowship.
