Adult Educational Opportunities
There are a number of special and unique opportunities for adult education available this spring at Lake Park. Some take place between services on Sunday morning, others throughout the week. If you have a thirst for learning, come and drink in the intellect, experience, of our pastoral and lay leaders.
Summer nights with Theresa
Remember Augustine? Remember Luther?
Well, this summer we’ll learn from an amazing woman theologian… Theresa of Avila. This August continues the tradition of meeting Sunday evenings at the Dragseth home, sharing a meal, and discussing a great theologian of the church. We’ll meet 6-8pm, for three Sundays starting August 15th.
Teresa was a leader of the counter-reformation in Spain. When once asked what it took to reform a church, she answered, “get a small group of people together, pray the Lord’s Prayer slowly…repeat…reform will come.”
Her beautiful writing, her keen insight to reform, and her fiesty humour are a delight to read.
Look for more information at the beginning of August. We’ll choose one of Teresa’s works and dig in!

These are the Tuesday Club’s top 10 reasons to come the senior center:
1. Fellowship - We get out of the house and keep in touch with old friends.
2. We share memories and miseries.
3. A warm noonday healthy meal. Having a nutritious lunch together is a delicious experience.
4. Great programs. Lifelong learning. Informative guests provide worthwhile discussions and food for thought.
5. Learn more about health issues and have an opportunity to ask questions.
6. Grow in faith. Bible study is most inspirational.
7. Keep ones mind alert.
8. Members of the church share their talents and hobbies with the seniors.
9. I learn something new every week.
10. Members are healthier because they are important to each other. They look forward to seeing each other every week.
Be reminded that the Lake Park Tuesday Club for Seniors will close for inclement weather whenever MPS is closed; otherwise, we meet every Tuesday for fun and fellowship. A nutritious lunch is a highlight and only $5.00.
