Adult Education

Adult Education at St. Mary’s

Sunday Mornings
9:30 AM-10:15 AM


Adult Forum in Randolph Memorial Hall

  • February 1 and 15: Jeff Leonard, Professor of Biblical Studies at Samford University, joins us to discuss two themes from his latest book Seekers in the Hands of an Elusive God: “The Bible’s Elusive God” (February 1) and “Seeking an Elusive God” (February 15). 
  • February 8: Bevelle Worthen will lead us through the concept of "Radical Grace." Her passion for this growing theology seeking to understand the fullness of God's grace is inspiring. Bevelle has found many helpful resources including preachers and thinkers who can help us all continue this conversation beyond the class itself. 


Bible Study Discussion in Room 309
January 25-February 15: A four-part series on “Women of the Bible” Jennifer Dewees, Emily Yancey and Micki Haralson  are surveying important, but historically overlooked, characters in the Bible: women! Join them as they study the women whose stories reveal God’s purposes in unexpected ways. We will study the texts themselves, how the women of the Bible have been depicted in art, and how these women have been remembered and interpreted over time.
