ADULT FORMATION OFFERINGS FOR SUNDAY, JANUARY 11

• Exploring The Episcopal Way: A 5-Week Class On History, Worship, And Faith – Curious about the Episcopal Church—or ready to go a little deeper? Join us as for a warm, welcoming 5-week class led by Brad Wilson, designed for newcomers, seekers, and longtime Episcopalians who want to explore (or refresh) what shapes us as a community of faith. The Rev. Elizabeth Roles will lead our first class on January 11. Dates: Sundays, January 11 – February 15, 2026 (5 weeks) at 9:15 a.m. in the YAC (our large downstairs meeting room)

What we’ll cover:

• The History of the Episcopal Church—where we came from and why it matters
• Worship—“Why we do what we do” in the service, from prayers to sacraments
• What We Believe—how Episcopalians live our faith together in community

Come with questions. Bring a friend. All are welcome.

• Coffee & Conversation – Beginning January 11, up to the beginning of Lent, the Coffee & Conversation Team will continue to facilitate group discussion and connection. For this period the focus will be on "Living in Oneness" and will be prompted by reflections on the Gospel of John and other works of spirit. Coffee & Conversation meets Sundays at 9:15 a.m. in Miller Hall, our large upstairs meeting room.

• Lectio Divina – How does relaxing for a few minutes and dropping into beautiful Biblical passages sound to you? You hear them. You let them shimmer within. Then share what was especially moving to you. That is Lectio Divina. We will be offering a 5-week opportunity to not only hear, but to use the process of Lectio to involve all three of your wisdom centers (head, heart, body). Please join us during the Sunday School hour at 9:15 a.m. in the Library (across from the parish office) January 11, January 18, February 1, February 8, and February 15. Linda Oxford, the Rev. Bill McCleery, and Paula Benton will be your guides. We would love to have you! Please email Paula Benton at cocoondesign@comporium.net, if you’d like to sign up.
