Adult & Youth Spiritual Formation

Sunday mornings at 9:00am

In the Navajo Room

This Sunday we welcome a special guest, Pastor April McCain, who will visit and teach us about the history of the African Methodist-Episcopal church, which has connections to our own Episcopal history. Please come and welcome Pastor McCain to St. Mary's and hear the interesting story of how this Episcopal off-shoot became the AME church.

Oct. 25 will begin a series of two classes on the history of mission work in the Episcopal church and the mission work that we currently do at St. Mary's. Twila Garletts will lead the first class on the history of mission work in the Episcopal church and Peter Burke and Andrew Clifford will lead the class on our current mission work at St. Mary's on Nov. 1.

The next three classes, Nov. 8-22, will begin with Erlis Wickersham leading the classes on agricultural images in the Old and New Testaments, what they symbolize, and how these images can apply to our own faith and lives.

There will be no class Sunday, Nov. 29 due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Advent Quiet Morning on Saturday morning, Dec. 5, will be led by Fr. Conor on the topic of Hope in Christ. Everyone is invited to look at Hope in Christ from a theological and personal point of view. What is it like to be a person of hope? What does it feel like? How do you develop an attitude of hope?

The bishop will be with us Dec. 6 and there will be no class.

On Dec. 13 and 20, Fr. Conor will continue our classes on Hope in Christ.

Dec. 27 - Twila Garletts will lead us in a Christmas Carol Sing.
