Join Kindred!
Kindred is an adult Sunday class for those who enjoy different perspectives, asking hard questions, and giving thoughtful answers.
We study a variety of materials — some are social justice oriented, others are traditionally Methodist in nature. We welcome all participants — all adult generations and genders and ethnicities, gay and straight and LGBTQ+ allies. We meet Sundays at 9:30am and socially at other times.
For Pride, Kindred is reading and discussing together Shameless: A Case for Not Feeling Bad About Feeling Good (About Sex) by Nadia Bolz-Weber.
