CHRIST & SAINT STEPHEN’S offers an Adult Forum on Sunday mornings at 9:30, lasting an hour. The time is spent in learning, theological reflection, and building Christian community. You are welcome to come for any session of interest to you and when your schedule allows. 

Note:  Each Sunday program is self-contained. You can join in at any time without worrying about what went before.

Forums for Eastertide

Forums will be on recess for Palm Sunday (April 13) and Easter (April 20).

Forum will resume on April 27 with an in-depth study of three books of the Bible during the Easter season.  For the first three Sundays we will have:

April 27:  Lectio Divina, or How to Read the Bible, led by Dean Poyner

May 4:  Paul's letter to the Phillipians, led by June Hagen

May 11:  Philippians continued.

Philippians is considered one of the earliest parts of the New Testament, written perhaps twenty years following the Crucifixion.  In its passage, "Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord," Paul sets down an already circulating hymn of praise.  In other words, it goes way back.

In her career as a professor of English, June approached the Bible as a work of literature, which will provide an additional angle on Paul's letter.

No prior preparation for these programs is required.  Just come and enjoy.
