Programs and Groups - Foothills Congregational Church in Los Altos

Lectionary Bible Study meets Tuesday afternoons from 4 to 5:30 p.m. and is open to all. Pastor Matthew Broadbent leads the discussion, focusing on the scriptures that form the theme of the next Sunday's worship and sermon. Regular attendance is not required. You'll be welcome whenever you can attend. New participants are always welcome.

Truth Seekers meet Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the meeting room. Fay Oliver and Angi Peck facilitate. Participants choose the religious topic for discussion. Fay says, "questioning, affirming, doubting and exploring are encouraged." We utilize videos, books and articles for discussion, such as Karen Armstrong speaking at a Jesus Seminar conference, Bill Moyers PBS special on Faith and Reason and Bishop Spong's book "Eternal Life." We've also studied other faiths such as Judaism, Islam and Buddhism besides Christianity. Open to all and whenever you can attend. See Calendar for current study subject.

Church School meets at the same time as Sunday service for 3-year-olds through junior high school. The curriculum is lectionary-based, so children and adults are concerned with the same Biblical texts. See Education andNews/Events for current school programs.
