Sunday, January 21 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM | adult ed- The Rule of St Benedictmeets in the Great Hall classroom
In the 6th Century, Benedict of Nursia founded a religious community and wrote for it set of guidelines on how Christians (monks in his case) ought to live a godly and peaceable life together, "The Rule of St Benedict".
It strikes a balance between the needs and goals of the individual and the community, and is known especially for its emphasis on moderation in all things. In 15 centuries since it was written, it has influenced the lives of countless Christians, those living in religious communities and those living in the secular world.
Join us as we read "Rule", as it was at it's birth and as it is lived today. For source material, we will draw on the Rule as originally written and on "St Benedict's Toolbox: The Nuts and Bolts of Everyday Benedictine Living", by Jane Tomaine (an Episcopal priest). |

Our mission in Children’s Ministries remains the same: to give our children a safe, loving place to discover and experience the living and present God. We strive to give our children new and exciting ways to discover more about God and who God is calling to them to be.
Family Church Sundays: Every last Sunday of the month will be family Church Sunday. On these days, children will attend the full service with their families. On these days, families will be invited to fulfill service roles in the church. A SignUp Genius will be available beginning in October for families to sign up to serve together. Training will be available as needed.

Sunday, January 21 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM | UD Ballroom Dancers- public class Meets in the Great Hall
Classes are $15 for students and $35 for non-students (for the whole four-week session).
What if I have no dance experience? Don't worry, most people are beginners. We tailor each class to fit the level of the participants.
What do I wear? Any comfortable clothing will do. We do ask that you wear comfortable shoes that are securely attached to your feet. Anything that has a tendency to slip off is potentially dangerous. For women, heels are alright if you are comfortable in them, but under 3" is preferred. If you don't feel comfortable wearing heels, flats or sneakers are fine.
How do I register for a public class? Just show up 10 to 15 minutes early for the first class of the session. The beginning of each session can be found on the calendar. We will ask you to submit your payment and fill out a short contact information sheet for our records in case of emergency cancellations.
If I come with a partner will I be dancing with him/her the entire time? We encourage rotation of partners during class because it helps the learning process; however, it is not required.
