May 31 – Pull Up a Chair: Let's Talk About Faith This Summer
A relaxed, gathering to ease into the summer together. No curriculum, no homework, no pressure. Just an honest and lively conversation about the questions we carry, the stories that have shaped us, and what we are hoping to discover in the months ahead. Think of it as the front porch version of Sunday school — where the best talking happens and nobody is in a hurry to leave.
June 7 – Song and Story
Join in to hear stories of faith and raise your voice in songs of hope.
June 14 – Heart and Hand (FOR ALL AGES)
Donation item: Nonperishable food and personal care items for Blazer Kitchen (UAB Food Pantry)
June 21 – Slow Down, You're Moving Too Fast: A Summer Conversation About Rest
Summer is supposed to be slower. So why does it so rarely feel that way? This relaxed, discussion-based class wanders through what Scripture, the Wesleyan tradition, and plain common sense have to say about rest and Sabbath. What would it actually look like to stop? And what has God been trying to say to us that we keep being too busy to hear? Come tired. Leave a little lighter.
June 28 – Guest Speaker: Cindy Lowery, Alabama River Alliance
