Adult Education for January 2026
Sundays, 9:30 a.m., in the Assembly Room, unless otherwise noted
Breakfast snacks will be ready by 9:15 a.m.
Each January, our meaningful tradition of intergenerational education brings together Middle School, High School, and Adults of all ages to share in food, fellowship, and the stories of God at work in our community. Over light breakfast and good conversation, we listen for the ways faith is lived, deepened, and discovered across generations.
This year’s speakers offer a remarkable range of voices from within our own congregation—voices shaped by ministry, creativity, and leadership.
Come for the breakfast snack, stay for the wisdom, humor, creativity, and witness of your fellow Nassau pilgrims. All are welcome as we begin a new year listening for God’s faithfulness among us.
Audio recordings will be posted below each class description.
🎧 Listen On the Go!
