Education & Programs

  We have an active adult Bible Study, the 'Discovery' Group, between the two services.  Each Sunday they read study and discuss the Lectionary reading for that day’s service.
 
Lenten Madness, a program inspired by college basketball tournaments and sponsored by Forward Movement pits 32 saints against each other in a bracket, as each saint seeks to win the coveted Golden Halo.  This program allows the congregation to learn a little history of the Church through the lives of these saints.  Participants sign-up and receive daily emails to vote on each pair of saints.  It's fun & educational!
 
A 12 week Confirmation class led by lay leadership & clergy study and take in-depth look at the scriptures. Also, students examine the Episcopal church history and traditions. The participants of the class learn about the service and sacraments and study the Book of Common Prayer. Students are then confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church.
 
Our newly formed Adult Forum meets Sunday nights to explore and share on a variety of topics.  Our meetings will include listening to an episode of On Being which is a pod cast from NPR (National Public Radio).  Our intention is to gather every 4 to 6 weeks and share, from a Christian perspective, what actions and reactions on a topic for the evening seem to be in line with our faith.  We also want to explore the topic from the perspective of non-Christians.
