ADULT EDUCATION

WINTER 2025-26 programs

Join us for adult education. Deepen and sharpen your faith through study and discussion. There are a number of groups, times, and approaches to the questions you are thinking about. These are opportunities to discuss what it means to be a Christian in these turbulent times, to meet new people, and be exposed to new ideas.


The Sunday Morning Adult Education Series is held at 9:15 a.m. in the church's South Parlor.


Colin's Open Table meets at Empire Coffee & Donuts, 590 County Road 6 (Pre-Emption Road), every Monday morning from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. This is an opportunity to discuss matters of faith in an informal setting, including the previous day's worship topic and Scripture.


John Milne's Bible Study is based on the Scripture readings for the upcoming Sunday services. The group meets Wednesdays at noon in the church's South Parlor.


Friday Evening Soup and Study. February 20 - March 27 (each Friday). The Friday Soup and Study group is back for six (6) weeks in Lent. We will gather at 5:30 p.m. from February 20 to March 27 to share a simple meal of Soup and Bread, and then each week do a study on one of the Names of Jesus. We will look at the Biblical basis for the name and what the name says about the nature of Jesus and our relationship with Him.

In order to have a rough number count for the size of table needed, it would be appreciated if you contacted Penny Haynes by email at keezymama@yahoo.com or leave a message on her home phone, 315-539-9448


PCG 101. February 26 - March 26 (each Thursday). This is a new class that will introduce students to the basics of the faith beliefs and practices of The Presbyterian Church in Geneva. Imagine a short course "Confirmation Class" for adults taught by Pastor Colin. This is an excellent opportunity to better understand who we are, what we believe, and why we do what we do. Perfect for those considering becoming members as well as those who would like to fill in the gaps of their knowledge. This class is open to all who wish to attend and is FREE. We will meet weekly for five (5) weeks on Thursday evenings from 6 to 7:30 p.m.


Faithfully Fasting Small Group. February 25 - March 25 (each Wednesday). This Lenten season you are invited to join a small group that will focus on the gifts of fasting. This is not an invitation to starve. Rather, it is an opportunity to be more aware of the patterns and habits we have which may not be good for our bodies and spirits, but still claim a lot of our time. The class will run for five (5) weeks and participants will share the experience of fasting from:

# Complaint

# Online distraction

# Unhealthy eating

# Non-essential shopping

Each topic will be framed as a spiritual discipline, practiced for one (1) week, and discussed in the following class. Participants are guaranteed to come away with insight as well as opportunities to offer our best selves in service to Christ. The group will meet Wednesday evenings, from 6 to 7 p.m., in the South Parlor.

* Bring a brown bag dinner if you wish.
