2 ANNOUNCING ADULT OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHRISTIAN EDUCATION Wednesday Lunchtime Small Groups, 12:00 1:30 p.m. Women s Lunch We gather for a brown-bag lunch with fellowship, prayer and study in God s Word.

Jesus State of the Universe Address Sunday Mornings, 9:00 10 a.m., September 14th November 23rd (11 weeks) Jesus Christ came to usher in the kingdom of God. In Matthew 5-6, the Sermon on the Mount gives us a glimpse of what that kingdom is all about. In this video series, one of the world s premier biblical scholars, Dr. Dale Bruner, will guide us as we enter the text. There will also be plenty of time for discussion. Meets in the Mill Creek Room. Child care is available. How to Spell Presbyterian Sunday Mornings, 9:00 10:00 a.m., September 21st November 2nd (7 weeks) We are the Ardmore Presbyterian Church. For over a hundred years, our congregation has strived to love God, to love each other in community and to love our neighbors in the wider world. We celebrate all those working to do the same, but we believe that our particular family has something to share. Our distinctions have helped us to become better followers of Jesus in this place and in this time. How to Spell Presbyterian is a basic introduction to our common beliefs, traditions and future together. The journey of faith is a comfort but also a challenge, and we can t do it alone. Relying on God s grace, our church exists to guide and support each other on this journey. This small group study is for new members, long-term members and the interested. Led by James Hodsden, meets in the Library. Child care available. The Team Approach to Discipleship in Romans Sunday evenings, 7:00-8:30 p.m., September 21st October 26th (6 weeks) Paul calls Roman Christians to live out their lives as part of a supportive team of disciples dedicated to showing Christ's love to the world in everything they do. We will study Paul's instructions in Romans with an eye toward this team approach to our own Christian discipleship. Led by Sturgis Poorman, meets in the Library. 2 YouthRingersmeetWednesday,September10th&24thandNovember19th&26that6:00p.m.This handbellchoir,forgrades6th 12th,rehearsesintwofallsegments(twoonehourrehearsalspersegment), thenplaysforworshipattheendofeachsegment.thespringscheduleistbd.

How do you care for a friend or acquaintance who has suffered great loss? These are two of the questions that the Grief Care and Support Group will be addressing this year. In addition to being a supportive community of Christian friends for those who are grieving, the group is also focusing on how we can extend Christ s care to those who have lost their job, become disabled, or been hospitalized. We don t have all the answers but we are committed to caring for others, praying together, listening to God s Word, and creating a sacred space for Christ s healing presence. If you have lost someone dear or if you seek to care for those who have suffered loss, please consider joining us on the second Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Blue Room. Pre-Med Hospice Volunteer Program Did you know that APC is overseeing a unique program to engage university Pre-Med students through the Pre-Med Hospice Volunteer Program? This program recruits Pre-Med students to be Hospice volunteers from schools like Eastern University, Bryn Mawr College and Haverford College. The program seeks to promote Hospice care and develop a new generation of health professionals aware of the blessings possible for individuals and families at the end of life. Rev. Graham Robinson, Program Director, helps to connect university students with Hospice and the local church. APC will host training events, reflection meetings and will provide a caring, Christian community to support students as they process the spiritual dimensions of what they are experiencing. The students will provide compassionate care to patients at the end of life under the auspices of Hospice, and Hospice patients and their families will help educate these young future physicians about care for the dying. In many ways, caring for those who are about to die is a way of encouraging these students to be Christ s eyes of blessing for those facing death. (Please note: This program is open to Pre-Med students from any religious tradition. However, as we meet together and grow in relationship, there will be opportunities to share what our faith teaches about death and dying. Some students may want to know more. Other students may just benefit from the exposure to another tradition.) How is all of this funded? All costs associated with the Pre-Med Volunteer Program are funded by a grant from the Athena Institute. APC will provide oversight of the program through APC s Pre-Med Hospice Volunteer Task Force. This program will provide a unique way for APC to minister to college students. And beyond the program itself, the church will have the opportunity to cultivate relationships with these students through worship, education, care and ministry.
