BIBLE Challenge 2020:  A deep dive into John's Gospel

Sundays, 9:30am in the Parish Hall

We join the Episcopal Church in its challenge to study all of John's Gospel in a close reading during the season of Epiphany.  Below on this page is a link to resources and the plan.

"What Anglicans Believe" Episcopalians 102

February 16 in  the Library, Sundays, 9:30am 

Our periodic class runs 5 weeks, thinking about theology from the Episcopal / Anglican perspective. We will study some of the great stories of the Bible, seeing how they help us answer the classic question: "How do we know what we say we know about GOD?" The Rev. Kipper DeGavre is leading this series. You can join in at any point!

Growing Disciples!

Wednesdays in January and February  

Supper: 6:00pm and adult studies at 6:30pm in Parish Hall

Jan 22/29: Ashley and Bob teach what's happening in the Eucharist and worship

Youth Sunday School

It’s a wonderful time of preparing our youth as they grow into adulthood and into a deeper relationship with God. They learn, develop relationships, and have some fun as well!

Children’s Sunday School

Sundays at 9:30am in the Day School classrooms

Our children’s Sunday School program is currently using the rotation model, which means that every Sunday each class meets in the same room, but the teacher is different! Teachers prepare ONE lesson that they teach to each class, and only need to sign up for one cycle, which is typically 3 weeks. Each class also has Shepherds who are there with them every Sunday through the year, to be a constant for the children and to support the teacher. We’re always looking for more volunteers, so please let Summer Johnson know if you’re interested in helping in one of these roles!

Cycles 5 and 6 (January and February) : "The Magi" and "The Boy who went to the Temple"

• Cycle 5 Art, Cooking, Video and Music
  
• Cycle 6 Drama, Games and A "sticky" story
