“In These Challenging Times” - facilitated by Geoff Vaughn.
     *Aperture Kick-off (congregation-wide):  September 16, 6:30 - 7:45pm. Registration not required.
     *2 Sunday elective groups meet for 3 weeks each on Sundays, 9:45 - 10:45am.
         
Group A: for parents and caregivers of Confirmands. Dates:  9/20, 9/27, 10/04
This three week class will be for parents and care givers of our 2021 Confirmand Class. During these sessions we will discuss spiritual perspectives, confusion, challenges and growth of our eighth graders and how we can better support them on their spiritual journeys. We will also devote time to discussing specific challenges they are experiencing in this season of the pandemic, of the social and political unrest in our world, and their resultant uncertainty, frustration and fear.
 
Group B: open to anyone.   Dates: 10/11, 10/18, 10/25
This three week class will serve as an extension of the Aperture Class facilitated on September 16 (but attendance at that initial session is not necessary). We will continue our investigation of how the myriad current stressors in our communities continue to generate significant internal stress, as well as ways we can find relief, comfort, and support as this season of uncertainty wears on.
