Spiritual and Ethical Programs For Adults

Each semester, Cedars offers various spiritual and ethical programs for adults to members and friends. In addition, many programs with wider appeal are also offered to other adults from the Bainbridge and Kitsap community.

Programs are developed and presented by the Cedars staff, (Reverends Barbara & Jaco ten Hove and Director of Religious Education Candee Cole), plus other lay leaders and community resource people.

The programs are organized with the assistance of the Cedars Program Associates Team: Alan Miller, Barry Peters, Becky Walsh and Scot Hedrick.
