Learning
Everyone, regardless of age, is curious about God and Jesus. We have learning opportunities for everyone.
Adult
Every Wednesday morning a Spiritual Reflection is offered by one of the clergy of a United Church in Dartmouth. This can be found on the United Churches for Dartmouth or Grace’s Facebook page. Bible and book studies are offered throughout the year. Some are done by by Rev. Stephen Fram while others are offered by the other clergy of United Churches for Dartmouth at different venues.
Inspired by a presentation at our Region meeting, this fall Theological Banquet will be offered.
Faith is a gift of God which allows Christ's life to flow through us, shaping our lives in the spirit of love.
The apostle Paul taught that when the Spirit lit the flame of faith in the hearts of the disciples at Pentecost, that faith took not one form, but many. The Spirit's diversity of gifts means that for some, faith takes the shape of a messenger of the gospel, for others, it takes the form of Christian community, or service to those in need, others express their faith by resisting injustice, or by seeking wisdom. In whatever shape, faith is a divine gift which inspires acts of love, compassion and hope.
Two opportunities to explore how you express YOUR faith, are available:
Wednesdays at 10:30 am (October 1, 8, 15 & November 5, 12) at St. James United Church Hall (183 Portland Street) - please e-mail reverendcatherinemacdonald@gmail.com
Wednesdays at 7:00 pm (October 8-November 5) at Port Wallis United Church (263 Waverley Road) - please email ross.bartlett@astheology.ns.ca to sign up
The Reconciliation Group will be exploring Bob Joseph’s book 21 Things You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government: A Conversation About Dismantling the Indian Act. Generally the meetings are the second Monday of the month at Mark and Shirley Hazen’s. E-mail mghazen35@hotmail.com for more information.
Starting in late September or early October, Tuesday afternoon fellowship will resume at Dick and June Charlton’s with The Chosen series. After a refreshment time, people will view a section of the series and discuss.
Library
Our library emerges for Fellowship Time. There are books for both adults and children in a variety of topics such as church history, spirituality, prayer, inspiration and current topics. Please check out what is available for borrowing.
In the little nook behind, we also have new-to-you books for sale. This supports new acquisitions for our library.
Grace provides a home to the Guiding (2nd Dartmouth Guides and 2nd Dartmouth Pathfinders) and Scouting (5th Dartmouth Beavers and 5th Dartmouth Scouts) movement. With the changes that have come with the Covid-19 please check out the guides and scouts sites for additional information.
“When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
