Back by popular demand, Jim Palmer—former chair of the Altamont School English Department, Alabama State Teacher of the Year, and a 40-year veteran educator—leads a thoughtful literary study of The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers. Listed among the Modern Library’s 100 Best Novels of All Time and a Top 20 Novel of the 20th Century, this remarkable debut explores the lives of outcasts in a small Southern town with eloquence and compassion. As McCullers gives voice to those on the margins, participants will reflect on what Arthur Miller called “the holiness of the spirit of Man,” discovering the sacred within the lost and misunderstood.

This class continues the study of Christian Doctrine by Shirley Guthrie, a required reading in seminary that has introduced thousands of laity, students, and theologians to the tenets of the Christian faith. Guthrie, largely non-dogmatic, does not examine doctrine as a static, systematic mental exercise, but instead ties doctrine directly to the reality of life as lived in our society, our church, our homes, and our places of work and worship. It connects theology with the deeper questions we seek in life and invites the reader to question and reach their own conclusions: Does believing this cause conflict with my life? How? Why?

Join us for an informational meeting about IPC’s 2026 Western Carolina Mission Trip.

In our Spring KidsROCK Musical, children (5K–6th grade) will explore what it truly means to be created in the image of God. Through humor, music, and creative exploration, they will discover that bearing God’s image is not about appearance, but about the attributes of God that shine through our lives. The registration fee is $20 and includes a cast t-shirt. Ten weekly Wednesday dinners are also available for $50.

The musical will take place during the Sunday School hour on Sunday, March 15, at 10:00 am in Highland Hall. A cast party will be held on Wednesday, March 18.

Join us each week, January 21; February 4, 11, 18, 25; and March 4, 11 to plan for Youth Sunday on Sunday, March 15.
