Learning Ministry Update | April 14

Thank you to Gwen Flory for her session, Every Day Is Earth Day, for adult faith formation last Sunday. Thanks also goes to Leigh Northcutt-Benson for leading the first week in our children’s faith formation rotation on the Parable of the Prodigal Son. 

On Sunday, April 14, children will gather in the library for an encore session on the Prodigal Son with Leigh Northcutt-Benson at 9am. Adults will convene in the parlor at 9am. LaRu Woody will lead a follow-up session to talk about some of the issues raised in Leigh Northcutt-Benson’s previous discussion of mass incarceration and the book, The New Jim Crow. In this session we will be exploring questions related to punishment in the criminal justice system. LaRu will give a “nuts and bolts” presentation of accountability in Texas criminal courts. Come prepared to talk about the theories of punishment, sentencing practices, Texas law and how would YOU decide? 

Please mark your calendars for Sunday, April 21: Bailey Barlow will be leading children’s faith formation and Bob Brueck will conclude his sessions on the Dead Sea Scrolls and Metaphysics. The link to Bob’s handouts is here. Upcoming session will be announced soon.
