Christian Formation Classes for ALL Ages
Begin This Sunday
9:30 - 10:30 AM

ADULTS:
The Forum -
Flannery O'Connor and the Christ-Haunted South; George Muir, The Chapel
This fall we will once again enjoy a conversation with Flannery O'Connor. Over 10 weeks we will seek to understand her culture, faith and life with the help of Ralph C. Wood's exquisite book, Flannery O'Connor and the Christ-Haunted South.

ADULTS:
Living in Community -
Rediscovering How to Be Christian Today; John Jenkins; The Berlin Room
Living in Community examines our lives as Christians in today's world, and asks how we might more intentionally behave as Christians in today's world. We will study some elements of the Rule of St. Benedict, using it as a guidebook to guide intentional Christian living in the waxing years of the twenty-first century. This is the same class as the senior youth, so this may be of special interest to their parents.

HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH:
Living in Community; Ranie Neislar; Youth Room, Upper Level, Parish House
Saint Paul's upper school formation offering is rooted in the Living in Community curriculum. Using the lens of Benedictine practices, we will explore the foundational necessity of participating in faith-communities and consider what it means to live an authentic Christian life in our quickly changing multi-cultural world.

MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH:
Journey to Adulthood; Todd Shafer & Melissa Williams; EYC Christian Formation Room, Upper Level, Parish House 
Our middle school youth and their adult leaders will walk together on the journey from childhood to adulthood as people of faith using the Journey to Adulthood curriculum. Through conversations that touch on four key areas of life-Self, Society, Sexuality, and Spirituality, our leaders will meet our young people where they are and model the care and community they need to develop their identity as modern Christians.
