Adult Education
Sunday, 10:00 a.m.
Adult Sunday School occurs between services from November to May. Topics include scripture studies, current events, support topics (e.g. grief and loss) and book studies. These two to four week classes are taught by the priest or adult volunteers. Participants have grown from a core group of eight to thirty five. On Thursday mornings, Good Shepherd has also supported a Men’s Bible Study group. Recent self-study has shown a strong interest from our parishioners in year-round Sunday School, Women’s and Co-ed Bible Studies, as well as other small study and support groups.

The Book of Forgiving, the Fourfold Path for Healing Ourselves and Our World
By Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu
There have been times when each and every one of us has needed to forgive. There have also been times when each and every one of us has needed to be forgiven. In our own ways, we are all broken. Out of that brokenness, we hurt others. Forgiveness is the journey we take toward healing the broken parts. It is how we become whole again.
As chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Archbishop Tutu has often been asked how the people of South Africa were able to forgive the atrocities and injustices they suffered under apartheid. When, at last, their leaders were released from prison, it was feared that their transition to democracy would become a bloodbath of revenge and retaliation. Miraculously, they chose another future. They chose forgiveness.
Come learn their “Fourfold Path of Forgiveness” in our Lenten Sunday School Series. We will look at video interviews of Bishop Tutu by Bill Moyers and others, as well as having The Book of Forgiving in the church office for those who want to delve deeply into this series. In each of us, there is an innate ability to create joy out of suffering, to find hope in the most hopeless of situations, and to heal any relationship in need of healing. So come see how we too can help stop our human community from unraveling.
Books are available in the church office for $10.
