Adult Religious Education takes many forms at St. John's. We have discussions, lectures, practice groups, book-based classes, adult forums, and even a film series! Most of our classes are either on Sundays or on Tuesday evenings. Some have childcare available for those who preregister. All of our classes are open to members, friends, and neighbors in the community. There is no charge to attend any of our classes, although some of the classes require books.
Classes are available during the year in the following five areas:
1, Unitarian Universalist History and Identity
II. Religion: Theology and Faith Development
III. Spiritual Practice
IV. Social Justice and Ethics
V. Community and Personal Growth

Sunday Forums
Forums are held before the church service, 10 - 10:45 a.m. in Krolfifer Hall, across from the sanctuary. We try to present a variety of viewpoints on topics of interest to the St. John's community. It is in our sharing together that we clarify what we believe and help others to do likewise. All are welcome to attend.Members and friends who would like to present a forum are asked to contact Carol Fencl or

Sunday, May 12 Death and the Afterlife.
Do you ever wonder about how other cultures view
death and what they think about the afterlife? In a continuation of a
similar forum he presented a year ago, John Kachuba will moderate this forum
which will explore multiple perspectives on these topics.
Sunday, May 19 Street Outreach to Homeless Youth
On any given night over 3000 youth and young adults in NKy are without permanent homes. Brighton Centers Street Outreach program meets these youth where they are out on the streets. Jarrett Spisak,the Street Outreach Supervisor at Brighton Center in Kentucky, will lead this forum. For this day only, due to the RE Teachers Appreciation Breakfast, the forum will be meeting Downstairs in the Gandhi room. Please note that St. Johns will also support that outreach by collecting sample sizes of shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes for the hygiene bags they leave at homeless camps and hand out on the streets. Collection is Sun May 19 & Sun May 26 in Krolfifer (Social Hall).
Sunday, May 26 War Zone Faith - Role of UU Chaplains
On this Memorial Day Sunday, we'll look at UU ministers who have chosen to serve as Chaplains in the U.S. Military. In the last several decades, there has been little support for the military in our UU churches. Is there a role that our UU congregations can or should play with soldiers, their families, and the U.S. Military? Leader: Carol Fencl
