"If you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord's holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way, then you will find your joy in the Lord!"

AFRICAN AMERICAN SPIRITUALITY
Learning Center (2nd floor) | led by Richard Ashmore
This class will explore African American spirituality from its roots in many diverse Western African societies to its many manifestations in America today. Key questions to be addressed will be: Is there a “Black Church” in America? How did enslaved Africans adopt and adapt Christianity? How have Historically Black Protestant Denominations served both group cohesiveness and societal change? Music will be emphasized.

GOD, IMPROV, & THE ART OF LIVING by MaryAnn McKibben Dana
2nd floor conference room
Each week the class will listen to an excerpt from the book which blends personal stories, pop culture and Scripture into a smart, funny down-to-earth guide to the art of living. Offering concrete spiritual wisdom through seven improv principles, the book shows how to become more awake, creative, resilient and ready to play – even (especially) when life doesn’t go according to plan.
