ADULT CURRICULUM: “Practicing Hope by Tabatha Holley” is a biblical curriculum that invites us to explore hope as a daily practice.  Its purpose is to allow all of our communities to cultivate HOPE that is honest about our current conditions (refugia), hope that is restorative when everything feels urgent (rest), and hope that is possible even when we transgress (repair).

​

YOUTH CURRICULUM: “Communities of the Spirit: Living Into Hope as Resurrection People by Regina Heater” invites youth to consider what they need in a community to help them be committed to actions that transform the world into the kin-dom they anticipate.  Youth will explore the inexplicable hope we find in early post-resurrection Christian communities.  Heater asks how can we create such “Communities of the Spirit” today by examining common themes found in the post-resurrection stories: bravely, miracles, rituals, time and diversity, the fruit of the Spirit, and adversity and perseverance.

CHILDREN’S CURRICULUM: “Home as Resurrection People by Joni Cisowski” intends to help children build trust in Jesus to bring comfort and support as they find courageous hope in the face of uncertainty.  Through each session, children will develop their understanding of hope by reflecting on important people, communities, places, activities, personal goals, and desires for the future.  Then they will look for ways to build communal hope to be the change our world needs today.
