Adult Confirmation/Inquirers Class—led by Dean Andy
This class is for any adult seeking confirmation, reaffirmation, reception, or simply wanting to know more about the Episcopal Church. Bishop Diane will be with us to Confirm/Reaffirm/Receive at the Easter Vigil on March 30.
Anglican Spiritual Practices—led by Father James
Lent is an especially opportune time to reconnect with God, to remove distractions, and to take on new spiritual practices. We will have several opportunities for this work together. On the Sundays of Lent, we will have workshops on Anglican Spiritual Practices. This will be a time to learn about the foundational practices of our faith tradition, to try them out for yourself, and to then reflect on and discuss the experience with one another.
Tuesdays
Women’s Bible Study • 12:30 p.m. • via Zoom (Zoom Link and Instructions)
During Lent WBS will be studying Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws. Written by Adam Hamilton it explores the life, teachings, death and resurrection of Jesus as told in the Gospel of Luke. Through Luke’s stories, we find Jesus’ care and compassion for all as he welcomes sinners and outcasts. As we study Luke and see Jesus’ concern for those who were considered unimportant, we hear a hopeful and inspiring word for our lives today. We hope you can join us. For more information, visit our WBS page.
Lectionary Bible Study • 7 p.m. • March 12—Fifth Sunday in Lent, Year B; March 19—Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday, Year B; March 26—Easter Day, Year B
We will open with prayer at 7 p.m. or earlier if all have arrived. We will read aloud the chosen section and share with one another words or phrases that were significant to us. The facilitator will kick off a discussion of context (scriptural, historical, cultural, etc.) which will, with God’s grace, lead us to a discussion of how an understanding of scripture can restore us to fullness with God and each other in Christ. We will close with a prayer. Join the Lectionary Bible Study group in Realm for details on how to participate. For more information, feel free to contact Jeff Johnson.
