Akaloo
for Adults
When?
Sunday mornings at 10:10 a.m.
Where? Social Room
Dates? September 2007 - May 2008
Akaloo
for Adults is an opportunity to get to know other adults
and to engage in informal small-group discussions about
how faith is relevant to everyday life.
· Casual & informal
· Relevant to everyday life
· Discussing questions adults have about faith
· Parallels the themes in Sunday School
To spark discussion, participants view a short video clip
called Taking It to the Streets that shows the attitudes
of ordinary people to questions of faith. Akaloo recognizes
that everyone will have challenges and doubts as part of
spiritual growth and that each person's faith journey is
unique. It encourages people to think about the questions
that adults have about faith and what it means to be followers
of Jesus. Parents of Sunday School children will appreciate
that the topics are the same ones that the children are
following, but all adults are welcome and will enjoy the
interaction and challenging questions. Facilitators are
Tom Boerigter, Mark Harms, Marty Parry, Jason and Jennifer
Shoars, and Heidi Solheim.
