 ARE YOU A
CURIOUS
EPISCOPALIAN
Well, of course you are. Aren't we all! But are you curious about the bible? What it is and what it is not; what the scholars do and do not know about it. Are you curious about the history, tradition and theological development of the church? Are you ready to debunk myths and move beyond children's bible stories? Are you ready to GROW and LEARN to integrate knowledge and faith into your daily life?
IF SO, you're not the only one!
The Saint Paul's EfM Seminar warmly invites you to join us at an informal and informative meeting about the
Education for Ministry (EfM) program in the Parlor on Sunday, May 8th or May 15th, following the Eleven o'clock Eucharist.
"Why me? I'm curious about these things, but I'm not interested in becoming a minister."
Too late! ALL baptized persons are ministers in the Episcopal Church (see page 855 BCP), and EfM is the premier program of intellectual and spiritual growth to equip our members to fully live into their baptismal vows: to proclaim the Good News in Christ by word and example, to continue in the apostles' teachings, fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers, etc. (BCP 304-5).
JUST THE FACTS, PLEASE:
Briefly, what is EfM? It is an adult Christian formation program of the Episcopal Church of study, prayer, and reflection in a small group setting that helps participants grow in knowledge and in faith-connecting both in how they live as Christians in the world. The course spans the entire sweep of the Christian tradition from the earliest period to the present: Scripture, ethics, theology, church history, worship, and spirituality. The curriculum is comprised of four "years" of thirty-six week cycles of group meetings led by one or two mentors. The new "year" will begin in late August or early September. There are between five and six openings in the Sunday night group that meets from 6:45 and 9:00 PM; however, if there is sufficient interest a new weekday group may be formed that meets at Saint Paul's between 9:30 and noon.
NEXT STEPS:
Look for members of Saint Paul's EfM Group at an information table in the narthex (or on the porch) immediately before and after the 11:00 service and following the 5:30 service during the month of May. Also,
Fr. Jenkins and
Suzanne Crotteau, who both serve group mentors, welcome your inquiries. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Alleluia! Alleluia!
