“Christian formation is the lifelong process of growing in relationship with God, self, others, and all creation. In this process, we are transformed into the people God wants us to be.” ~ The Episcopal Church Office for Formation Ministries
Ongoing growth is vital to our life in faith, and we offer a variety of ways to engage in this important work. Our regular in-person adult formation class, the Adult Forum, meets before church on Sunday mornings in the Parish Hall. All are welcome. Our topics vary widely, largely based on the interests of those who attend.
In addition to Adult Forum, we offer seasonal resources for the whole parish, partner with local parishes for short courses, and are hoping to resume our occasional film and discussion series.
We do not have an active children’s Sunday School at the moment, but we would be happy to form one or discuss ways to help the children in your life grow in their faith. Contact Rev. Catharine.
If you are interested in Confirmation or Reception in the Episcopal Church, please contact Rev. Catharine.
Adult Forum
Adult Forum is a time to explore our faith through the study of scripture and history (and the consumption of coffee) at 9:15 Sunday morning in the Parish Hall. All are welcome.
We vary our offerings depending on participants’ interests: book discussions, video lecture series, single-topic presentations, Bible studies. At times we have supplemented our gatherings with mid-week Zoom sessions, some of them joint with other local parishes.
We are resuming our video lecture series on the lives of ‘Great Christians.’ We should finish up the lecture on the monks of Mt Athos. The lecture notes for that lecture are available in last week’s post, and the lecture notes for Dietrich Bonhoeffer (our next lecture) are available here. If you are interested in reading some of Bonhoeffer’s work, speak up and we can fold that in to our schedule.
We are resuming our video lecture series on the lives of ‘Great Christians,’ picking up with the lecture on the monks of Mt Athos. The lecture notes are available here.
We are continuing our journey through the Letter of James. This week’s focus selection is James 5:13-20. Those are the verses we would have read in church if we weren’t using the Season of Creation substitutions for the second reading.
