Faith in the Workplace
During the Sundays of July, all adults are invited to join our annual summer formation gathering. Each week during the Sunday school hour, we’ll welcome dynamic guest speakers who will share how their faith shapes their work in the real world — from the courtroom to the sports field, from corporate boardrooms to hospital corridors. This exploration of faith-in-action provides a time to learn and grow together and an opportunity for Sunday school leaders to take a well-deserved break. All are welcome!
