Yo-Ma-Co Adult Sunday School Class

The Yo-Ma-Co class was begun in the 1950's by members who were Young Married Couples at that time. The class meets in Room 103 each Sunday at 9:00 AM and is open to all. Rev. Hubert Lines leads the study, currently using a quarterly named "The Present Word" published by the Presbyterian Church in Louisville on behalf of the Christian Church (Disciples). The class supports the Agape House in Springfield quarterly and also Crosslines.

Wednesdays Evenings

Dr. John White, our Scholar in Residence at National Avenue, and Matt Gallion, our Pastoral Resident, are leading a study of a book by Brian McLaren during our Lenten Season. Brian’s book, Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices suggests that most of us suffer from what he calls, "spiritual disorientation." McLaren says our souls are untended and in this fragmented world, a soul left untended quickly loses direction. A soul then forgets itself and becomes an insubstantial thing, disoriented and unavailable. He asserts that neither secularism nor religious fundamentalism nor vague spiritualities have been able to offer any real answers to this problem.

The book tells how a growing number of Christians are turning to early spiritual practices as a means of tending their souls. For centuries, believers have eagerly submitted to disciplines such as fixed-hour prayer, fasting, sacred meals, observing the Sabbath, or pilgrimage to create an everyday sacredness, a spiritual rhythm for living within the well-worn grooves of everyday life. You are invited to join the conversation at 6:00 PM in the Parlor at NACC.
