Spiritual Formation
During the season of Epiphany, we have two spiritual formation series.
Epiphany Book Study on Zoom
In this season where we look for the growing light, our companion will be Barbara Brown Taylor’s beautiful book Learning to Walk in the Dark. We will meet for discussion Monday evenings beginning January 13 on Zoom from 6-7 pm. Copies of the book are available in the church office (suggested donation $10) or use your favorite supplier.
Saints on Sundays
One of the things we profess in our creeds (and Baptismal Covenant) is that we believe in “the communion of saints.” For more information on saints in our Episcopal tradition, click here https://www.episcopalchurch.org/glossary/saint/
During this season after the Epiphany (which ends March 2) we will have a Sunday morning coffee hour series exploring the lives and legacies of some of the saints. Please join us to explore the richness of this tradition.
January 12 – Aelred of Rievaulx (led by Pastor Kristine and Howard Burnham)
January 19 – Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 26 – Coffee hour/Men’s Fellowship
Plus more saints to be announced!
