Enrichment Education
Three times a year, for a three week series held Sundays at 10:45 a.m., an informal seminar is offered to all inquirers. Whether you are a prospective member or an established member of St. Lucas UCC, this is a time to come together to learn in a "question friendly" environment.
The sessions rotate through a cycle of three general topics:
- What does it mean that our faith is Christ centered? Who is Jesus and who are we because of Jesus?
- Who is this denomination, the United Church of Christ — how did it begin and what does it offer?
- All about St. Lucas UCC: its history, governance, commitments to mission and the opportunities in this congregation for nurture and fellowship.
