Grateful
September 22-October 20
Adults and youth are invited to join us Sundays as we dive into what it means to be “grateful.” Using videos and small group discussions, we will take part in our transformation from scarcity to abundance. Through conversation, reflection, and prayer, we will nurture a grateful life.
Past forum handouts and videos may be found on our Adult Christian Formation page.
Lectionary Bible Study
Join for a small group in-depth study and discussion on the passages of the day. No preparation necessary and you do not have to commit for the whole year.
Eastertide - Back to the Garden: A Season of Creation

Into the Wild: Lenten Adult and Youth Forums
We will explore what it means to wander with Jesus in the wilderness during this Lenten season. What is wilderness? What do we bring with us? What might we learn along the way? How do we prepare ourselves for these physical and spiritual liminal spaces? What does the word “liminal” even mean? This will be a space to explore Scripture, build community, and share authentically with one another. Adults and youth are welcome to attend this transformational experience.

The Adult Forum, running Sundays from September through May, offers engaging dialogue and interactive teaching. This fall, join the Rev. W. Frank Allen, other clergy, and fellow parishioners as we dive into what it means to be “A Community of Love.” We will explore how we live into such a reality through the lens of our baptismal covenant. Come learn more about this calling and hear the stories of fellow disciples. All adults, both experienced Christians and newcomers, are welcome.
