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.

Learning to Speak About Our Faith in a Post-Christian World

Many of us are uncomfortable about how to speak about our faith is the world around us. There is an opportunity for us to learn about how to do this lead by the Rev. Dr. Rob Fennel, a minister of the United Church of Canada at Stairs Memorial United Church on Saturday, April 11 from 1pm to 2:30pm.

Tuesday Afternoon Group watching the Chosen

From now until the end of April, Tuesday afternoon fellowship will occur at Dick and June Charlton’s apartment on Baker Drive with The Chosen series. After a refreshment time, people will view a section of the series and discuss. Drop-ins are most welcome. Contact June for the address.

Reconciliation Awareness and Action Group

After the fall spent examining Bob Joseph’s book 21 Things You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government: A Conversation About Dismantling the Indian Act, the Reconciliation Awareness and Action Group will be having a more informal learning. Every month one or two group members will present about a topic that they researched at the meeting. Generally the meetings are the second Monday of the month at Mark and Shirley Hazen’s. E-mail mghazen35@hotmail.com for more information.

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.
