Sunday Seminars
This year we plan to offer a number of different seminar series on Sundays before our regular services. These seminars are a great way to learn more about a specific aspect of life or faith and to interact with others in a smaller group setting.
Seminars are typically from 2 - 3:30 PM and run for 4 - 8 weeks. Childcare is available, but we need to know in advance if you need it. Contact Janet (802-310-2685) to request childcare.
Here's the tentative schedule for this year . . .

Recognizing Jesus in Culture
May 30 - June 13
Anne Watson
If Jesus is really the savior of the world, then that must mean what it means to be a Christian extends beyond what it means to be an American. Jesus is deeper than our culture, but he's also embedded everywhere in it, and theoretically in every culture. We'll practice recognizing the symbols of Jesus in the Bible (outside of the gospels), in our own culture, other cultures, and in our everyday lives.
