  • Please join Sandy Miller at 9am each Sunday for Practicing Our Faith - take a journey through The Book of Common Prayer, the Christian life, and basic beliefs of our faith in this 26-session. You do not need to attend all sessions to get something out of this study so join whenever you are able!  See how our prayer shapes our belief and our lives and how our beliefs lead us into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.  Even though we pray the words of The Book of Common Prayer each week, many of us don't know where these prayers come from, what they mean, or how they call us to live on a daily basis.  
  • Education for Ministry Enrollment for Fall 2018 -- Have you ever wanted to take a deeper dive into your faith or wonder what ministry God is calling on you to do as one of his disciples? Than please join us on Monday nights starting in September.  EFM is not seminary and there are no grades, it is just a group of committed Christians who explore more fully their work as disciples through weekly guided discussions and readings and fellowship.  For more information or to sign up please talk to or e-mail Sally Lermond at sallymullen7@gmail.com; Tracey Forfa, tforfa@gmail.com, Rev. Emily or Mary Pat Wilson.  We look forward to having you join us!!!
