Learn from experts and prepare yourself for faithful action.  The Adult Forum meets each Sunday at 9:15am in the Vaughan Fellowship Hall.

Sunday, April 6: Preventing Gun Violence Gun Violence is a national epidemic. In North Carolina there are annually over 1,000 lives lost to gun violence and an estimated 3,000 more injured by firearms. Gail Neely, Executive Director of North Carolinians Against Gun Violence, will be speaking about what we can do to help prevent this ongoing problem.

Sunday, April 13:  Southern Workers' Assembly.  Our economy is keeping wages down and making it harder for many people to make a liveable income, but workers are coming together to speak out about job issues.  There is an upsurge of new energy in the South.  The Southern Workers' Assembly is helping people to organize, unite and transform labor power and to seek fairness and dignity in the workplace.  Dante Strobino, Field Organizer, from the Assembly will join us to share information about their work and how we can participate in this movement.

Sunday, April 20: Easter Sunday - No Forum.
