Christian Formation Classes
Who among us has not taken up his cross, as Jesus Christ commands his followers, and felt the weight of the rough, splintered wood? Who doesn’t yearn for redemption, Resurrection, and the promises of the kingdom of God, in this life as well as in the life to come?
The Episcopal Church believes that Christian formation lasts a lifetime. Each faithful adult is a theologian, making her way through the joys, complexities, and sorrows of life while discerning how she is called to glorify God, serve God, and find peace in our God in Christ.
From September through June each year, we explore these and other topics and issues in all our Christian Formation and Spiritual Path offerings, including
• Sunday Morning Faith Formation Hour on Sundays at 9 a.m. in the Bishop’s Room. Please check the web site for our current 9 a.m. Sunday topic. It may be a conversation about a spiritual book or a novel, an “Episcopal 101” series, or an edition of our ongoing “Sunday News” series, examining current events in the light of the gospel. The contacts for Sunday Morning Faith Formation are Rick Anderson and Tom Simpson.
Education for Ministry
Dig deeper into the Christian faith, studying the Bible, Church history and theological ideas and reflect on connecting faith with life experiences through the Education for Ministry program. Contact the church office to participate in St. John’s active EFM group.
