Christian Education is for everyone!
There are many opportunities to feed your spirit, and pursue your journey in learning. 
Our education ministry is active and growing. 
Please join us for these and other events to share fellowship, expand your circle of friends, and continue learning in faith. 
We have weekly Sunday School for grades Preschool - eighth grades, adult education,  Summer Sundays, weekly youth group, book groups, and assorted Presbyterian Women's faith studies. 
We are constantly looking for new ideas and welcome anyone who would like to participate in our education ministry.   Please, come and join us!

   

We consider everyone in our Christian Education programming each year.  From preschool to adults, working folks to retired folks, biblical and religious studies to personal and faith growth, we offer something for everyone.
Have an idea for a program - that's great - let Roberta know, and let's get it started.

Sunday School – Ages 3 preschool – 12th grade
It's a new kind of Sunday School this year.  Roberta has designed a curriculum to include the basics and favorites with a twist. 
Lessons will be fun, authentic, and applicable to faithful living, everyday.   Curious?
Come check out a Sunday School class.  

Youth Group -  Sunday’s - 5:30 – 7

Youth from 5th – 12th grades are invited to join us on Sunday afternoons for food, fellowship, fun and faith.  For a calendar of meetings see the website, or shoot me an email to be placed on the mailing list.

Confirmation
Each year we offer a confirmation class for students entering 9th grade, and beyond.   If you’re interested in becoming confirmed, just contact me at kcpcyouth@tds.net.


Adult Programs:
Theology on Draft  - is a Christian fellowship gathering which involves a discussion of a theologically based topic affectionately known as "the puck."  Any participant may offer a “puck” (an idea, question, or topic) for group discussion.  These discussions are not political and offer everyone the opportunity to be heard in an informal, but respectful atmosphere.  TOD meets at the Flying Goose Brew Pub at 7 PM on the 1st Tuesday of each month.  To be put on the reservations list, please (please, please) let Roberta know no later than noon Monday.  I make the reservation that afternoon.

PILGRIMS -   A women’s program for meditation, reflection on various spiritual readings, and mutual support. The group emphasizes prayer, and mutual sharing as well as journaling. It is open to all women. Although there are readings from well know theologians and others, there is no requirement for attending. Currently we share the leadership of the discussion, but that is not a requirement. All are welcome.
We meet once a month, every 2nd Wednesday from 9:30 to 11 am.

 Faith Book Group  (FBG) is just what its name describes.  A group of us gather for an interesting and thought provoking discussion on a group chosen book.   Some of our favorites have been The Faith Book Club (our namesake), The Shack, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Small Great Things, and The Red Tent to name a few.  If you wish to join us, we meet at Roberta's home on the 3rd Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8:30 with snacks to enjoy along with the discussion. Contact Roberta if you’d like to be on the mailing list.  All women are welcome…sorry guys...but look at the next class.

Faith Book Group by Day  Similar to FBG, but is open to everyone!  We meet the last Monday of the month, 10:30 - 12.
February Selection:  The Faith Book Club by Ranya Idliby and Suzanne Oliver.  We'll meet in classroom 3 if available.  You do NOT have the whole book read - let's just start the conversation.  If you missed this book discussion the first time around, please make sure to join us now!

Wednesday Morning Bible Study– sessions meet every Wednesday mornings from 10:30am. - 12pm.  Everyone is welcome, no matter age, gender, or affiliation.  Bring a friend!  No materials are needed. We meet at KCPC in Classroom 3. 
Our current study is a seven week long look at 1 Corinthians.  What great advice does Paul have for us?
​Please view our monthly calendar for exact dates.  So bring your coffee or tea, and let's dig in!

Sunday Series  While this is under the Adult Education section, we often get our youth attending these classes.  We are currently exploring the book Love Does  by Bob Goff.  We meet in classrooms 1/2 right after the 10am service.  Grab something to eat and drink, and come join the discussion.  No materials needed. We meet from 11:15 - 12:15ish.

Intergenerational Focus Study -  We hope to build a workshop this year.  Please let Roberta know if you're interested in this workshop development.

​Please contact Roberta Hollinger, kcpcyouth@tds.net to be put on the mailing list for upcoming events.

Roberta's "Blog"

On Sunday I had the privilege of sharing my thoughts on Psalm 30, and how it relates to happiness, sorrow, and joy.  I referred to a TED talk.  The title was What Makes a Good Life?  Lessons from the longest study on happiness.  Here is the link, as promised, to the TED talk - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
