As busy adults, we understand that being active and engaged in your faith can be fulfilling on many levels.

We're excited to offer so many great programs for adults to connect not only with God, but with other like-minded members of the Hills Church through learning and goodwill.

ADULT CHRISTIAN EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES

To sign up for any of these Adult CE programs, please call the church office at 781-235-4424, or email Church Administrator Cynthia Gordan at cynthia@hillschurch.org, or you can sign up TODAY during Community Hour at the Adult CE table in the Assembly Room.

DISCOVER GOD'S PRESENCE IN CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE AND IMAGES
The Hills Church is pleased to launch a different kind of book club. Our aim will be to use stories and essays from contemporary American literature to investigate how life and faith merge in surprising ways and places. While secular fiction may not be the most predictable place to listen for God, it may well turn out to be among the most rewarding, transcendent, and, ultimately, the most personally felt. Where do you listen for God? The challenge is to pay attention everywhere.

LECTIONARY BIBLE STUDY GROUP
The Hills Church Lectionary Bible Study Group has been meeting every Sunday morning at 8:45 a.m. in the Church Library for over fourteen years to discuss the Scripture that will be read during that Sunday’s service and, often, the musical and sermonic themes as well. Gaining a prior familiarity with the week’s Bible passages almost always deepens the experience of the Sunday morning worship service. The group uses as its guide the lectionary three-year cycle program widely utilized in North American Protestant churches. Study materials are circulated among the group in advance, and attendees take turns leading the weekly discussion. New attendees are always welcome. Please contact John and Dwin Schuler at johnanddwinschuler@verizon.net.

THEOLOGY READING GROUP
Theology has been famously defined as “faith seeking understanding.” The Hills Church Theology Reading Group will meet once a month to discuss an important work of contemporary or historical theology. Our aim is to dive into some of Christianity’s most exciting, perplexing and illuminating ideas while learning from great authors and from one another. If you enjoy philosophical discussions, long to know more about the intellectual bedrock of Christianity, and hope for a more engaged and thoughtful faith, the Theology Reading Group is for you. The class itself and the books we read can be likened to the bibliography of an undergraduate seminar in religious thought. The ideas that we will wrestle with have the potential to transform the way you experience Christianity. The Theology Reading Group will be led by Matt Fitzgerald.
