Christian Education
A recent church dinner at the Barn
after worship.
Besides Sunday morning worship, our monthly education program for all
ages is called, "T.G.I. Wednesday." Usually the third Wednesday of each month,
we begin at 6:00 with a pot-luck meal. People bring what they'd normally
fix for dinner, or one simple dish to share, and silverware. We provide
milk, decaf coffee, paper plates, and cups, so there are no dishes to wash
after we eat. After dinner, our storyteller for the night dramatizes the story.
Then we divide, the children in one room and the adults in another. Both groups
discuss or do projects on the themes in the Biblical story. Then we come together
at 7:20 for a brief closing worship.
Bible Study
An adult Bible study meets each Wednesday at the church Barn (next to
the Bennington Battle Monument) from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. Reading just a chapter
or two a week, we have read from Genesis through 1 Kings, and are reading
2 Kings in the spring of 2008.
Women's Book Group
Our women's book group meets monthly in homes and reads mostly current
and some classic works. Recent books have been The Woman at the Washington
Zoo, The Year of Magical Thinking, Alias Grace, City
of Falling Angels, My Life in France, Never Let Me Go,
Garlic and Sapphires, and Digging to America. To see books
read since the group's inception in 2003 and books to be read in 2008, visit the
book group blog.
