ADULTS

The Rector's Forum offers a time and place for engaging conversation that is not anchored to a specific curriculum or topic. Always we consider how to honestly and faithfully live out our Baptismal vows, whatever the topic of the day. 

This Sunday is the conclusion of our Romans.

Explore Christ's redeeming love throughout the season of Epiphany by reading a few verses each day from Paul's Letter to the Romans. Join with tens of thousands of Episcopalians to learn about life in the early church and central principles of our Christian faith. The Good Book Club offers an opportunity to dive deeply into scripture and create a daily practice of engagement with God's Word. It's easy to join the Good Book Club: just open your Bible and start!
Each Sunday we gather to learn more about the week's assigned Scripture and ponder its meaning for us today. As an additional resource, Bishop Benhase leads a weekly lecture and discussion at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Savannah.  Follow his verse-by-verse study guide and  watch his class live online Wednesdays at 10 AM or afterwards view the video recording .

CHILDREN

WEAVING GOD'S PROMISES -- Ages 8-11 or Grades 3 - 5

Leader: Coleman Graham and company

Location: Blue Room, Children's Ministries Center

Our bigger children will immerse themselves in an Episcopal formation experience rooted in the stories of our faith as presented in Matthew's Gospel. In this first of a three-year cycle, our children encounter the story of our salvation from the fall to our redemption and how we fit into the story. Our theme in this curriculum year is "God loves us and stays with us-no matter what." Every session incorporates theology and history from our Episcopal-Anglican perspective. Questions??? Contact Coleman Graham or Fr. John.

GODLY PLAY -- 4s to 8, Kindergarten thru 2nd grade

Location: Godly Play Room, Children's Ministry Center

We take children and their relationship with God seriously and seek to provide both space to foster encounters with God and the language necessary to make meaning of those experiences. Within the Godly Play classroom, the Biblical narrative is lovingly presented to children using beautiful materials with an invitation to step into each story with awe and wonder. Children are then allowed time to respond to and reflect on their experience of the story.

Tuesday, March 5, 6-7:30 PM

The Search Committee for the 11th Bishop of Georgia will be holding a series of Listening Sessions around the diocese over the next several weeks. The Augusta Convocation session is March 10, 2:30 PM at Church of the Good Shepherd for anyone who can attend. The Search Committee wants to include as many voices as possible in the conversation and recommends these thoughts to ponder before you arrive at one of the Sessions: what miracle/joy/success have you seen in the last 10 years? What was your best moment in the Diocese? What have we missed, or what could we have done better? What are your hopes for the next 10 years?

Whether or not you attend a Listening Session, please take the time to complete this brief survey. 

The Saint Paul's Choir will sing Evensong at 5:30 PM on Sunday, March 10.
