Adult Studies

Run With the Horses
Taught by Shelly Core
6–7 p.m., Fellowship Hall Room 2
Begins Sept. 14 and runs for 12 weeks

How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence – to run with the horses – in the midst of life today? In a series of reflections on the life of Jeremiah the prophet, Eugene Peterson explores the heart of what it means to be fully and genuinely human. His writing is filled with humor and self–revelation, insight and wisdom, helping to set a course for others in the quest for life at its best.
