Explore the echoes of Christ’s parables in our own life stories. Discover the unfinished chapters in God’s story of our lives. NOAC is a Spirit-filled gathering of adults who love learning and discerning together, exploring God’s call for their lives and living out that call by sharing their energy, insight, and legacy with their families, communities, and the world.
Keynote speakers for the week will be Deanna Brown, musician and storyteller Ken Medema, author and theologian Brian McLaren, Dr. Robert Neff, Rev. Christine Smith, and Rev. Ladonna Nkosi. The Bible study leader will be Dr. Robert Bowman. Other activities will include afternoon programs, interest groups, evening worship, and entertainment.
