Please join us on Sunday (20 November 2016) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education — Reclaiming Your Religious Vocabulary.

Are there certain words from religious language that conjure hurtful memories for you, simply “set your teeth on edge” or even trigger strong negative emotions?

Perhaps words like “sin,” “salvation,” or even “redemption,” “grace,” and “mercy” were words that meant you were excluded from the favored community.

Consider an opportunity to unpack, disarm, and reclaim these words in a safe setting, and in a context that could be meaningful and better suited to your current understanding of spirituality.  Join us — it could be fun!
