Everything is Spiritual

April 15th through May 27th in the Leavy Library

led by Mary Swierenga and Kevin Estes

This class will consist of 7 “NOOMA” videos presented by Pastor Rob Bell. Each 12-minute NOOMA film, with titles including Rain, Luggage, Breathe, Store, etc., is a short parable for our time and is a way of experiencing the teachings of Jesus and the kind of spiritual life he invites us to live. The videos each focus on a relevant faith-and-life issue and serve as open-ended conversation starters.

Rob Bell is the author of Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith and of Love Wins: A Book about Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived.

What do Christians do?

A Primer on Christian Practice

April 15th through May 27th in Room 301

led by Joseph Moore and Greg McDonell

Please join us for a conversation around some of the basic practices of the Christian faith. Some of us know a lot about what Christians are supposed to believe. But what are Christians supposed to do? What practices formed the early church? What practices inform and form your own spiritual life?

Social Issues (Spring 2012)

April 15th through May 27th in Room 103

led by Jim Beckett and Deb Robison

The Social issues class for April and May 2012 will be a mix of speaker/experts and topics of the week that are chosen or brought in by members of the class. With this mix we hope to keep the discussion current and also have knowledgeable sources.

Some past members of the class have already volunteered but dates have not been set. All attendees of Central Presbyterian can bring a topic they would like to discuss. If we have too many, we may able to continue this in the fall.
