Sunday Morning Christian Education
2025 Adult Education Track
The Third Day: Living the Resurrection
All are welcome to join our Lenten study, which begins on Sunday, March 9, and wraps up on April 13. In this study, we’ll explore the meaning of the resurrection through the eyes of three individuals close to Jesus during his last days (Mary Magdalene, Peter, and Thomas), as well as from the perspective of Paul and the disciples at Emmaus.
The book The Third Day: Living the Resurrection by Thomas Berlin will be used as our guide. Here are the chapters Sunday by Sunday:
March 9: Chapter 1
March 16: Chapter 2 - Simon Peter
March 23: Chapter 3 - Thomas
March 30: Chapter 4 - Disciples going to Emmaus
April 6: Chapter 5 - Paul
April 13: Chapter 6 - Jesus
Our discussions are enhanced by reading the chapter before class. Haven’t managed to read the chapter? Feel free to come anyway and participate.
Paperback copies of The Third Day are available from Amazon, but delivery time is not certain. Kindle copies are available immediately. We have several copies available that we ordered from Cokesbury. If you want one of these copies (at a price of $12.00 per copy), please contact Susan Strasser (strasser23@gmail.com).
Adult Weekday, Saturday and Evening Christian Education and Fellowship
We have a number of classes in the evening and during the week for learning and growth! Contact the church office or Pastor Michelle for current meeting information.
Coffice Hours with Pastor Michelle
Mark your calendars for the fourth Thursday of the month and join Pastor Michelle during her coffice hours. Come and chat about church, life and anything else. Bring along a friend or two who wants to find out more about FVPC.
Pastor Michelle’s next coffice hours are March 27, 2:00-4:00 pm at Coroco Coffee, 101 S. 1st Street in St. Charles.
Enneagram Classes
Have you heard of the Enneagram? This powerful, ancient spiritual Christian tool can help us to better understand ourselves and our motivations. Discovering our numbers can help us navigate our emotional and mental landscapes which can lead us to a healthier self, healthier relationships and deeper connection to God.
Several times in past years, we have offered a class called The Enneagram Journey - where you discern your number, learn what it means and explore how to grow within it. If you think you might be interested in participating in an Enneagram class, please contact Laurie Musielak.
