Sunday School | 10 a.m.

Sunday School is a continuation of our common life in worship - a time to know and to be known, to learn and to pray, and to attend ever more closely to what God is doing among us at Blacknall and in the world. Classes are always open to visitors. Look for a deacon wearing a bright red vest if you need help locating a class.

Community Room

We are studying 1 and 2 Corinthians, one chapter per week. Each class member studies the next chapter before class and arrives eager to discuss 1) the main theme, 2) what God was like in that chapter, and 3) how he or she is personally moved by that chapter. Discussion is electrifying.

“Mental Health, Christian Faith, and Belonging”

Many Christians — including at Blacknall — live with mental health challenges. The church should be a place where talking about mental health is welcomed and where we all feel safe, supported, and a sense of belonging. This winter and spring we’ll affirm this by hosting “The Sanctuary Course,” a video-, art-, and Scripture-based framework for conversation. Created by Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries, the course draws on the perspectives of theologians, pastors, mental health professionals, and Christians who live with mental health challenges. Join us as we wonder together about mental health and faith, support each other, and talk honestly about mental health challenges and God’s tenacious love for us.
