FALL 2011 ADULT EDCUATION OFFERINGS!!

INTENTIONAL FAITH DEVELOPMENT

When we take God more seriously and want God to touch every corner of our life, our curiosity and for the divine widens and our exploration of God’s wonder depends.  A deep life of faith never comes without questioning and growing.  In fact, reflecting on God and God’s activity in the world is just as important an act of faith, as worship, prayer, serving, and sharing God’s story.  This year, give your brain of faith opportunities to be stretched and nurtured.  And through this thinking faith may the action of your faith be enriched and empowered.    

High Street Church covenants with you to provide opportunities for learning and growth. 

• You are invited to use the “Spiritual Growth Plan for 2011” as a tool to evaluate your intentional efforts to think of God and serve with God. 
• Set a goal within the “Living and Learning” track of classes, be part of a small group learning experience, and explore six important areas of faith development.
