Trinity's Adult Forum
Meets most Sundays during the school year and may focus on a book or theme of the Bible, an ELCA social statement, or any number of other topics as they relate to our faith.
During Lent and beyond our Lenten Adult Forum Series will be:
Hungry for Hope: Letters to the Church from Young Adults
Why this book is an important read:
• Addresses Critical Topics
• Centers Young Adult Voices
• Offers Actionable Insights
• Supports Church Renewal
A few of us gathered last fall to discuss this book. We feel it is an extremely important read and merits a fuller exploration of each chapter. The book explores vital themes that address the challenges and opportunities facing the modern church, reflecting real-world struggles and aspirations of young adults today. We will start with Adult Forum during Lent and finish up with 3 sessions after Easter. Digital formats available.
