Adult Forum

The Sunday Adult Forum is a semi-formal adult discussion group. Our topics include Geopolitics, Contemporary Issues/Events, Spiritual Themes, and Personal Experiences. Our normal weekly participation ranges from eight to twelve. We meet Sunday mornings from 10:00 to 10:50 am. Our regular Sunday program follows at 11:00 am.

OBJECTIVES:

  1. To improve individual communication and analysis skills in a courteous manner.
  2. To give a concise viewpoint of knowledge and ideas (and feelings)
  3. Listen to others and study and understand complex current issues and to exchange viewpoints.
  • Participants often have a broad enough personal knowledge of topics that pertinent information appears during discussions.
