New Formation Opportunities for Adults
Searching for Sunday
Sunday Mornings    |   10:10 am - in the Narthex  
Beginning September 11. 
Going to church means so many different things to people.  What exactly is it that we're looking for each week?  During our Rector's forum this Fall, we'll loosely hear the story of  NY Times best-selling author, Rachel Evans, as we explore what it truly means to belong to a church and not only belong, but to get the most out of church.  Stories of the sacraments, faith, and the liturgical year - all dotted with humor and anecdote - will help us find our place and our life rooted in church.

Yearning:  Practicing An Ancient Faith In A Modern World
Sunday Evenings
5:00 pm (Cottage #102)
This small group will offer a combination of Bible study, prayer, discussion, and fellowship as we talk about the changing face of religion and spirituality in culture and what that means as we seek to live as sacramental, spiritual followers of Christ in an increasingly complex, divided, and secular world.

Going Deeper Into Scripture
Thursdays   |   12:30 pm   in the Narthex
A comprehensive exploration of the Bible as a whole and its meanings for life today.  Each week we'll go deeper into stories and events of both Old and New Testaments as we reflect together on Scripture, faith and life.   All are welcome!
