An educational series of interactive studies called “The Arts of Compassion: Relating
Scripture and the Arts” will be offered during the six Sundays of Lent beginning
on February 26 through April 1. Each session will seek to understand God’s call
to compassion through discussion of Scripture and forms of visual and verbal art.
Presentations and discussion will begin at 5:00 p.m. followed by a light supper at
6:30. Following is the complete schedule:
February 26, Hudson Falls Baptist Church: Compassion for Those Who Need Help,
led by Rev. Jeff Palmer.
March 4, Kingsbury Baptist Church: Compassion for Those in Broken Relationships,
led by Rev. Kathleen Davie.
March 11, Fort Edward, Village Baptist Church: Compassion for Those Who Are
Outcasts, led by Rev. Robert McCrory.

Everyone is welcome to attend any or all sessions. The study series will culminate in

series is sponsored by Churches in Discussion for Cooperative Ministry, which plans
the shared education program for the four American Baptist Churches in Glens Falls,
Hudson Falls, Kingsbury, and Fort Edward.
