Practicing our Faith and Stepping out in Faith

Sundays at 9am beginning October 12 - Upstairs
No classes Nov. 23, Dec. 21 & 28, Jan. 4, March 29, April 5, & May 20

This year we will focus on the Book of Common Prayer.

+Children and Youth: The children will be following the curriculum Stepping out in Faith, teaching children Episcopal faith and practices.

+Adults and Youth: The adults will be following the curriculum Practicing Our Faith, Walking in Love. 

The title of the book for the adult class is Walk in Love: Episcopal Beliefs and Practices. To purchase the book go to Forward movement’s website here, on Amazon, or another favorite bookseller. There also will be books available if needed. There is no book for the children and youth class.

The two classes will join at the last 10-15 minutes.

Both adult and youth tracks would be excellent preparation for baptism, confirmation, or reception into the Episcopal Church. Please see Vicar Marlene if you are interested in pursuing one of these options.

Advent Book Study – Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer by Richard Rohr

Thursdays at 7pm, November 6–December 18 in the Chapel.

No class on Thanksgiving, November 27.

This book serves as a guide for experiencing a spiritual worldview in which all of reality is unified in God. In this book, Rohr offers us the belief that we have no real access to who we really are except in God. Only when we rest in God can we find the safety, the spaciousness, and the scary freedom to be who we are, all that we are, more than we are, and less than we are. Only when we live and see through God can “everything belong.” 

The book may be purchased via Amazon here or another bookseller. 

There will be an AA meeting in the fellowship hall during our class, so please enter through the office/chapel door (NW side). Led by Vicar Marlene.
