My BCP

Fr. Ted

If for the last month or so you’ve felt like we’ve had one big Sunday after the next, then you’re not alone. It seems like every week there’s something new to look forward to, and this Sunday is no exception. This week, we are celebrating the return of our regular Sunday Adult Formation classes between the services. Last weekend, we had a wonderful presentation from Brad Neary on our Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible. The youth joined the adults in a packed Roper Hall to learn about this wonderful gift to our parish. But this Sunday, we return to our normal routine, with a variety of classes for adults to choose from.

If you’re a parent or grandparent and you’re raising children in your home, you might want to join the Figs with Kids group and read through Brené Brown’s acclaimed book, The Gifts of Imperfection. If you are looking to learn more about Holy Scripture, you might take Pastor Nancy’s class, Reading the Bible through a Non-Violence Lens, and learn about methods of reading the more difficult passages of scripture in a way that still reveals a God of love and mercy.

The other option for the fall is my class on The Book of Common Prayer. When the clergy were brainstorming possible classes for this year, we remembered that several people have asked about a class on the prayerbook, and I was quick to jump on it.

As Fr. Ted pointed out Adult Formation classes begin this Sunday! They join the already underway offerings for children, youth, and the 16 Wayfarers who are in The Way. The Adult offerings for the Fall are:

• People of the Book: Our Past, Present & Future with the 1979 Book of Common Prayer [This class also offers a virtual option via Zoom - registration required.]
• Reading Scripture through a Non-Violence Lens
• Figs with Kids Book Study: The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown

It's never too late to join in!

We are sad to share that Betty & George Robb, beloved parents of Keith Robb, died suddenly on Wednesday. We mourn with Keith, his wife Brooke, their children Linda, Sarah, and Maxey, and with the Robb family. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but we will share them when they are available. Please keep Betty & George in your prayers and extend your condolences to the Robb family.

Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord, and may light perpetual shine upon them. May Betty and George’s souls, and the souls of all the departed, rest in peace.
