Sunday Mornings in Lent for Adults
Lent is a season of spiritual growth, a great time to take up Adult Formation as a weekly practice.
Walk in Love: Belief and Practice in the Episcopal Church, 9:30 am, Multipurpose RoomWe complete our Walk in Love series this Sunday, with a couple of Sundays left in our program year. Our final lesson from this series will be this Sunday. Fr. Scott will be teaching on the subject, “Proclaim To All People: Telling Our Story”. We find it easy to talk about trivial things that we’re passionate about. Why is it then that we are timid about sharing our faith? This class will look at some basic ways to tell others the story of God’s love for us, and how our lives have been impacted by the gospel. Fr. Beasley will be teaching on May 12 and 19, in two Sunday series on the Holy Eucharist. We'll look at our traditions around the liturgy of the Word on May 12 and those of the Table on May 19.
