Marble has a reputation for being a superb place to be an explorer—a place where questions about faith can be lived safely, passionately, and in the good company of fellow travelers. Adult Education offering meets from 1:30-2:30pm, in Bay Hall. Each month, this class takes an intriguing topic central to our faith and looks at it a different way, through lenses that are biblical, theological, psychological, or practical. Speakers are drawn from the Marble community and outside experts; classes are a range of lecture, Q&A, panel discussion, personal exercises, and more.
In March: The Lenten Journey
As Dr. Brown has pointed out, Lent is traditionally a time of self-examination. Not in a self-absorbed way, but in a way that reflects the classic call to “repentance,” which means to “turn around,” to change directions where we need to. The movement into Lent is different for everyone, and this month’s Adult Education classes offer tools for the journey of “turning” that await us all: glorious music, chances to learn about caregiving and ways to end hunger, and a mini-workshop on reconciliation – ways to seek God’s forgiveness and healing through an honest look at ourselves.
