start the new year by making a connection in a mayflower adult class

The power of the human connection can be inspirational, liberating, insightful. Mayflower offers multiple ways of connecting with fellow human beings and one of these places is the adult Sunday School hour.

The adult class meeting hour -- 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. -- cuts some gracious slack to weekend lovers who find early rising a thorn in the laid-back side. And for families we have not one, but three childcare workers who can show your kids a few fun games, crayons, and plenty of toys to keep them happy while you spend a little time in more adult encounters.

Feel free to come in jeans, bring your coffee cup, and fill it with delicious organic, fair trade coffee in Fellowship Hall, then head to the group of your choice -- we have four adult classes -- to listen, discuss, learn and above all connect with your neighbor.

7 Generations

The Freethinkers
The Freethinkers live up to their name in every way, delving into the depths of prose, politics, religion, morality, values, and everything in between.

In January The Freethinkers join the Bible Class in exploring the "Saving Jesus" series.

The Bible
This class is all about exploring the Bible with a lens unfettered by dogma and doctrine.

Delve into the DVD series “Saving Jesus," with thoughts and musings from some of the top Christian theologians of our time including John Shelby Spong and Marcus Borg.

"Saving Jesus" is meeting in lieu of the regular adult Bible study class and is led by both Chris Moore and Robin. Please join us if you are looking for real Biblical grounding in progressive Christian thought. The class meets in the 2nd & 3rd graders room.

The Seekers
The Seekers help each other in the individual search for spiritual companionship, hope, directions in life and strength for the journey.

Using their own internal resources to facilitate each Sunday's lesson, the class focuses on presenting and discussing the basic tenants of faith and their relevance in today's world, as well as exploring how to use the teachings of Jesus to compare and contrast with other religions and continue to build a community of faith.
