Relationship in Healthy Congregations
We will come together for a series of discussions on topics including forgiveness, truthtelling, connecting, and helping one another in community. Each session will root in scripture while providing opportunity for participants to share challenges and joys.
Let There be...Stuff?
Remember the 'StoryofStuff.org'? They've teamed up with GreenFaith.org to develop "a Spirit-filled response to a consumer-crazed world." They claim that: "The environmental crisis facing our planet is now an accepted reality worldwide. Our life-support systems are unravelling and the consequences are being felt in the extreme weather patterns, the melting of polar ice caps, and an increase in preventable diseases." In short, God's Creation is in trouble because of our ravenous relationship with our stuff. That's quite a claim to make and cries out for examination and response. We welcome interested people of all ages and viewpoints.
Global Warming - A Christian Response
This elective focuses on what a Christian position on the global warming debate might look like from a Reformed perspective. We will compare and contrast declarations on global warming from 3 Christian organizations. We will look at Reformed principles relevant to the global warming debate and discuss their implications for a Christian perspective on the debate, on public policy options as well as on personal choices.
The Church of All Ages - Generations Worshiping Together
Fleetwood CRC is a multigenerational church and this has an impact on the way we worship! It calls for worship that holds the generations together. Is that even possible? Using Howard Vanderwel's book, this elective will explore the practices and purposes of intergenerational worship. There are no easy answers, but this book study will help us along the way.
Read with Me, Craft with Me
For our youngest group (basically ages 5-7) we will do different stories and associated crafts every week.
Christmas Paper Art
This elective is not just for kids - in fact you should be at least 11-12 years old to participate in this elective! So preteens, youth, adults, seniors are all welcome as we go through 6 sessions on paper art, making various items/crafts with a Christmas theme.
Christmas Baking
Children will bake different kinds of Christmas cookies, etc. Some you will be able to take home and some you will be making to give to others.
