The Adult Spiritual Education committee will host a one-hour Bible Workbench on Sunday, March 3, starting at 9:30 a.m. in the Community Room. We will discuss Luke 9: 28-36, 37-43: times of preparation, confirmation, commitment and (again) confirmation. Liminal spaces. Here is a question from the materials we use (from The Education Center’s “Reading Between the Lines”): “What is it to be weighed down with sleep, but still awake? What things might one see, hear, say or do in this state that one might not when fully awake?” Depending on the context, what are both the costs and/or the gifts of being in this state? You don’t have to read the scripture in advance in order to participate.
