A Cloud of Witnesses: Presbyterians Investigate Our Past

(Room 120: September 15 - October 27)

​

As part of the Session's commitment to study the role of the church in relation to slavery and segregation, Centre history professor Dr. Tara Strauch will begin with this a six- part series designed to help us explore the broader history of the Presbyterian Church and the ways in which have interacted with the world over the past three centuries.

​

Hebrews 12:1 tells us that we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses—of the faithful in the past and present. Throughout this class, we will consider what lessons we should learn from the faithful that came before us and the inheritance they have left us. Topics include Presbyterians and the American Revolution, the Second Great Awakening, Slavery, and World Missions.

​

Book Study: The End of White Christian America 

(Room 122: September 15 - October 13)

​

We begin the year with The End of White Christian America. Public Religion Research Institute CEO Robert Jones draws on findings from a large survey database to show how today’s controversies can be understood only in the context of a changing racial, religious, and cultural landscape. Centre sociology professor Dr. Beau Weston will facilitate this four-week discussion of the book, which can be purchased in the church office for $5.00.

1st Wednesdays: Milestones Ministry— We will mark significant events in our lives (like getting a driver’s license or caring for aging parents or an ill spouse, among others), using a four-step process that includes scripture reading, reflection, prayer, and conversation, to discover how God is present in these important transitions as well as our everyday lives.

​

3rd Wednesdays: Lectio Divina—We will use an ancient practice of reading and meditating on the scriptures to deepen our relationship with God and increase our understanding of God’s word for our lives.
