Creating a Sustainable Energy Future
Wednesday, February 10, 7 p.m.
As we begin the new year, STAY COOL for Grandkids and the Environmental Stewardship Team of St. Bart's will answer an important question: why should we care about a sustainable energy future? This is a free Zoom webinar. We will send registrants the link to the meeting the day before the event.
Electricity use accounts for more than 25% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the San Diego region and about 31% globally. Improving how we generate electricity and design new buildings will slow down atmospheric carbon build-up, reducing potential impacts from climate change, and protect future generations. Come hear from our speakers who are experts in their fields.

The History of Christianity in the Reformation Era
Mondays, starting February 17, 10 a.m. via Zoom
The century-and-a-half from about 1500 (the late Middle Ages and the late medieval Church) to about 1650 (the end of the Thirty Years’ War) is among the most tumultuous and consequential periods in all of European history. At the center of the upheaval stands religion, particularly the disagreements and divisions in Western Christianity. This course presents an analytical narrative of the religious developments of the Reformation era in their political, cultural, and social contexts, emphasizing the embeddedness of Christian beliefs and practices in the institutional and intellectual life of the period. The overall goal will be to understand historically the theological and devotional aspects of each of these three broad traditions on its own terms and to grasp the overall ramifications of religious conflict for modern Western history. Geographically, the course ranges across Western Europe, with most attention devoted to England, France, Germany, the Low Countries, Italy, and Spain.
Please join us Wednesdays at 10 a.m. for an 18-week class of 60 minute DVDs with class notes and discussion, beginning on February 17.
We will send out the handout for the week and the Zoom link on Mondays, beginning on February 15, for the upcoming Wednesday class. If you miss a class, we can still get the handouts to you. If you or someone you know would like to attend, please email Bob Capettini.

What Is an Episcopalian?
Wednesdays, January 20, 27 and February 3 | 6 - 7:30 p.m.
Do you wonder about the Episcopal Church’s traditions, teachings, worship and history? So do many of us who have been in the church a long time! We are studying the book, Walk in Love, Episcopal Beliefs & Practices by Scott Gunn and Melody Wilson Shobe, in anticipation of Bishop Susan’s visitation on February 13 and 14.
This study is absolutely open to all, but if you are interested in being confirmed, received (if previously confirmed in the Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox traditions), or reaffirm your baptismal vows, this is the perfect introduction. For more information about the book study or confirmation, reception or reaffirmation, please contact the Rev. Canon Allisyn Thomas.

Women's Bible Study Gathering
Wednesday, January 20, 27 February 3, 10, 17, 6 - 7:30 p.m.
Join us as we delve into Saying Yes in the Darkness, 7 Weeks in the Book of Psalms by Teresa Swanstrom Anderson. Whatever hard thing we’re facing, we have a choice to walk with God . . . or not. This study is about that in-between space―walking from lament into praise. The walk through the difficulty, and the living in expectation that He will move, believing we will see light because He is the Light. We use Google Meets for our book discussion each week. Questions? Contact Anne Snyder.
