CHRISTIAN FORMATION
ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL ~ 9:30 AM
Sunday Adult Education Round Table
This summer our group is using a book by Stephen Prothero entitled "God Is Not One" to learn about nine of the most influential religions in our world. This book is an overview of the religions and not an in depth study. Books can be purchased on line, but you don't need one to participate. This week we will be looking at Islam (pages 25-63). If you want more information, contact David Starling by text or phone at (850) 712-0977 or email
dastarling@cox.net
.
This class meets upstairs in Rm. 32 of the Christian Education Building.
Led by David Starling.
Sunday Centering Prayer Group —
Centering Prayer is a method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, in which we experience God's presence within us. We begin by taking a few minutes to go over the basic guidelines of the practice for anyone who is new. We then sit together in the 20-minute prayer period, followed by a brief time for sharing and intercessory prayer. All are welcome — newcomers and experienced practitioners.
This class meets in the Centering Prayer room on the administrative hallway. The facilitator is Joan White.
NURSERY ~ 7:45 AM - 12:15 PM
Infants - 2 yrs. old — Nursery, first floor of the Christian Ed Bldg.
Infants — Rm. 24, first floor of the Christian Ed. Bldg.
Preschool Toddlers — Ages 2 & 3 — Rm. 21, first floor of the Christian Ed. Bldg.
Bible lessons are provided each week during the 10:30 service.

ALTAR FLOWER MEMORIALS
Each week our worship service is enhanced with beautiful fresh flowers. After the Sunday services, the altar flower arrangements are reworked into smaller arrangements. These arrangements are delivered to members of our parish family that are unable to attend a Sunday service. The altar flowers are a memorial, a thanksgiving for an anniversary, a birthday, a new birth, or a thanksgiving for God's blessings. The donation is listed in the weekly bulletin. Forms to participate in this ministry are available on the information table in the Parish Office.
