christian formation and service
Our parish is committed to traditional and biblical Christian formation within the English/Anglican expression of orthodox-catholic Christian faith "which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3). Our current formation and service opportunities open to those who regularly worship with us are:
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (for children ages 3-9): Sundays 9-10:30 am. For more information, click here. Advent Worship and Study: Each Sunday in Advent we have 5 pm Evensong, followed by a fellowship meal in the parish hall. After the meal, Fr Dallman offers teaching until 7:30 pm. This year's Advent's study topic is: Introducing the Church Fathers. Lent Worship and Study: Every Friday in Lent we have 5 pm Evensong, with Stations of the Cross and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, followed by a fellowing meal, after which Fr Dallman offers an hour of reflection on a particular aspect of Christian faith, until 8 pm. This past Lent's topic was Icons and the Incarnation of Christ, both an introduction to praying with Icons and, through them, meditations on Christ’s Incarnation. Summer Book Study: Fr Dallman leads a book study on Christian discipleship on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of June, July, and August, each time at 10 am. Last summer's study was "Introduction to the Bible." Adult Bible Study: Sundays 8:45 am-10 am Adult Bible Study: Thursdays 11 am - Noon Adult Bible Study: Saturdays 10 am - 11:30 am Canterbury Pilgrimage: Foundations in Anglican Spirituality, which gives an introduction to Christian spirituality and prayer within the Anglican/Episcopal tradition. |
