COFFEE HOUR DATES FOR SPRING OF 2010
MAY 2: “Who knows?” Thoughts on What
Comes Next. Seminarian Jonathan Bennett will present a study on
Ecclesiastes 3:18-22, specifically pertaining to the writer’s thoughts on
the here and now and, more importantly, what comes after this life. Come and
explore what one of the Wisdom writers thought about how humans fit into the
grand scheme of things.
MAY 9: YOUTH
SUNDAY
MAY 16: The Irish Troubles. Forty years after Northern Ireland spiraled out
of control, a feeling of hope and optimism has begun to take root in this place
apart. Old wounds are by no means healed, and while politically there
remains “a problem to every solution,” both Catholics and
Protestants of the province now speak of the Troubles in the past tense.
Is this impression premature? What has brought Northern Ireland to this
juncture? What lessons can be learned from the ongoing Peace Process
there? These questions and others will be explored as Irish historian
Michael Mahoney shares with us about the tragic past and promising future of
Northern Ireland.
MAY 23: NO
CHURCH SCHOOL: PENTECOST, BAPTISMAL RECEPTION
