The Bible and the arts are inherently and historically linked. Since the 4th century in the Christian era, congregations have been guided by the lectionary's imaginative and disciplined journey through the Bible. Using these readings, the liturgy, music, colors, movements, and celebrations of the church year, the Bible and the arts are brought together in a significant way. Imaging the Word is a resource providing visual arts, music, photography, prose, poetry, prayers, and commentary based on each Sunday's lectionary readings. The class is open to everyone anytime.

The Enneagram is a personality assessment tool that helps us learn more about ourselves so that we might learn more about how we are in a relationship with God and with the people most important to us. Mary Ann Webster and The Rev. Mary Lessmann facilitate this class which utilizes the DVD curriculum of Suzanne Stabile, an internationally recognized Enneagram master and a very entertaining presenter.

Enneagram & Parenting

Wednesday, March 10, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

7-8 p.m. Via Zoom

Children raised in the same home with the same parents can have very different personalities.  This is because, regardless of environment, we are each born with a disposition toward our personalities.  And parents have their own personalities that impact how they parent. Enneagram & Parenting looks at each of nine numbers and their tendencies and priorities that show up in parenting.  It also helps parents understand how their number may have compatibility or conflict with children who are different numbers.  The goal of the class is for us to understand ourselves and become better parents to our children regardless of their number. Completion of The Enneagram Journey class is required in order to participate in any Enneagram Intensive offering.​ For questions and registration, please contact Mary Lessmann at [email protected].​
