Opening our Prayer Book - Adult Christian Formation
Sunday, 9:30-10:30  AM , Berlin Room, Clergy led 

The Book of Common Prayer is not just another book nor simply a collection of prayers... it is a bold expression of how Episcopalians envision God and a means for shaping and renewing the entirety of our Christian lives. We will discuss the full range of resources in the BCP and how to use them. If you have your own BCP, bring it; if not, we will have copies for your use; in either event, bring your curiosity and the questions you always have wanted to ask about the BCP, our prayers, and liturgy. 
No EYC this Sunday 
Summer EYC (Episcopal Youth Community, grades 6-12) will meet next  Sunday and July 15. Friends are always welcome.  Contact Ranie for more information.
