Learning Community
A guiding value for our learning
community comes from the gospel:
"Love the Lord your God
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
with all your strength,
and with all your mind;
and your neighbor as yourself."
(Luke 10:27)
At every age and stage
we seek to grow more fully into
a faith that is real and meaningful,
that engages hearts, minds and bodies
in loving God and our neighbors.
We like sharing our education
“Family-style,”
with teens, adults, youngsters and elders
forming deep-rooted relationships,
cherishing and learning from one another.
We’ll be glad to make room for you and yours in the circle!
As children grow into teens and young adults, we support their interests and engage their participation in worship leadership and community service activities.
To learn more and connect with our youth leaders, email Youthgroup@meridianucc.org.
We all gain insights from the special Children’s Circle in Sunday worship. During the second half of the service, teens, little ones, and older children go out with adult leaders for some interactive hands-on learning and play time just for their age.
After worship we often bring a cup of coffee or tea and sit down together for deeper conversation with the pastor or a guest leader. Discussion groups and programs range from marriage equality, to aging with spirit, from climate change to Reiki, and from Bible study to expressive arts.
We believe the biblical God is still speaking to us, so we approach the Bible with open hearts and minds. At the center of every Sunday worship service is a reading from the Bible and a message applying it to daily life.
