Adult Sunday Formation
Class For Parents | Growing your Faith: Parenting as an Invitation to Discipleship
Sunday, Mar 24, 2024, 10:00 AMin Room 224
Raising children in the life of faith is one of the greatest privileges Christian parents have—and one of the greatest challenges. We will explore ways parents can cultivate a rich life of faith and thereby equip themselves to raise their children in the “knowledge and love of the Lord” (as the Book of Common Prayer suggests). Andrew Grosso will facilitate conversations aimed at helping parents more fully order their lives in light of the Gospel and thereby mentor their children in life and faith.
Paul's Letter to the Romans
Sunday, Mar 24, 2024, 10:00 AMin Room 217
Paul’s epistle to the church at Rome is one of the most inspiring, one of the most important, and one of the most challenging texts in the New Testament. Paul likely wrote this epistle around the years 55-57 CE in preparation for a visit he planned to make to Rome, and it contains the most extensive account we have of his understanding of the Gospel of Christ. The Reverend Christian Basel will lead us through a close reading of this seminal biblical text and help us recognize its abiding relevance.
Growing in Christ: Stages of Faith Formation
Sunday, Apr 07, 2024, 10:00 AMin Room 217
Sometimes we struggle to grow in the life of faith because we’re unsure what growth really looks like. We become so accustomed to familiar patterns that we have a hard time recognizing how God may be calling us to grow in faith, in hope, and in love. But God always has more for us than we can imagine. The Reverend Mary Lessmann will help us broaden our perspective of the ways God calls us to grow and hone our ability to discern God’s call in our lives.
Being A Blessing: Loving Your Neighbor, Changing the World
Sunday, Apr 07, 2024, 10:00 AMin the Coke Room
During the season of Easter, we’ll reflect on ways we can demonstrate God’s love to those around and thereby extend to them the blessing of God’s new life. This series explores ways we ourselves are transformed by God’s love as well as concrete, everyday practices we can use to share that transformative love with others. Simple acts of presence, of listening, of service, and of sharing life together can become the means God uses to draw us closer to himself by helping us learn how to draw closer to others.
