Adult Formation for Advent
Beginning next Sunday, November 27
th all adults and the youth of Saint Paul's are invited to enter into a discussion of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Welby's, book
Being Disciples. The book has been called "accessible and thought-provoking...An excellent spiritual guide for individual or small group us... A book of enormous substance."
This is a wonderful opportunity during the season of Advent, the season of expectation, to delve more deeply into our own discipleship and the essentials of the Christian life. The book is available in the parish office and will be available this coming Sunday in the narthex.
We look forward to sharing this journey together.

ADVENT Formation Class for Youth & Adults: Being Disciples
Sundays, 9:30 & Wednesdays, noon - 1:00
Leader: Rev. John Jenkins
"Discipleship," says Rowan Williams, is a state of being. Discipleship is about how we live; not just the decisions we make, not just the things we believe, but a state of being."
What is discipleship? How are we to follow the way of Jesus and continue growing in faith? Join me throughout Advent to ponder these questions. Rowan Williams's delightful little book, Being Disciples will inform us and guide our discussions. You have two opportunities to gather each week, at Sunday's 9:30 formation hour or at noon Wednesdays (bring your own lunch).
Please call 706-724-2485 ext. 205 or email Fr. Jenkins by Thanksgiving if you intend to participate so he may appropriately prepare. A limited number of Williams's books are offered in the parish office for $6.50; or order at Amazon.com or Cokesburry.com.
