GENESIS: FOR ADULTS ONLY!
A half-day or weekly seminar.
The Bible begins not with commandments but with stories of human beings juggling marriage, family, work, love, sex, parenthood, identity, responsibility, and the Great Unknowns, while trying to survive in a world they did not create. Sound familiar? We will forget everything we ever knew (or have already forgotten, or never knew) and enjoy exploring for the first time this very contemporary book. All beliefs, backgrounds, and communities welcome. No experience or Hebrew is necessary.
