Common Grounds adult seminar is a vital part of Christian Education at St. Michael’s in the Hills. Most Sunday’s after the 10:00 service (Sept. through May), adults are invited to the Fellowship Hall for presentations of spiritual, cultural and social topics. Presenters are often congregation members, spotlighting the wealth of talent and experience in our parish. Church organizations and committees are welcome to use Common Grounds as a forum for increasing awareness for special needs and projects. Sessions last approximately 45 minutes.

November 3, 2024: “Growing up in Christ: The elusive nature of being an adult in a childish world” Presented by Bill Roman.

Being Christian means being more thoughtful in engaging button pushers, know-it-all friends, and people who, in general, make everyone else’s business their hobby. This Common Grounds presentation will be a brief exploration of some gospel stories considering family systems theory, and how Jesus invites his disciples to make everyday choices in defining themselves in the mission of God.

Bill Roman, LPCC is a private practice psychotherapist in Toledo. He and his wife, Karen, regularly attend St. Michael’s. They have two grown daughters living in Columbus.
