Parents of Teens AND Tweens, this week. This Monday evening’s “Parents of Teens” meeting will be "Adolescence, a General Overview." We will spend the first part of the meeting reminding ourselves and one another about the social, physical, and chemical changes taking place in our young people, and consequently in our selves and in our families, in these in-between times. We would like to invite the parents of our current 5th and 6th graders, as most of what we will be discussing is on their doorsteps, if not already at the kitchen table. See you there.

At the Adult Forum on February 12 The Rev. Dr. Clint McCann will discuss “Reverent Agnosticism? The Book of Ecclesiastes.” Old Testament scholar, James Limburg, calls Ecclesiastes "a book for our time." But the book has elicited a wide range of opinions in the scholarly world. At one end of the spectrum, some scholars see Ecclesiastes as the ultimate skeptic. At the other end, some see Ecclesiastes as what one scholar calls "a preacher of joy." We'll explore the evidence and the options, focusing on how Ecclesiastes might indeed be "a book for our time." Dr. McCann is Professor of Biblical Interpretation at Eden Theological Seminary.
