Adult Education
Christian Education: Adult
On the pathway of learning, St. Andrew's offers Christian education for adults with the goal of creating community, connections, and growing in our faith together. Join us to explore past and present thinking about the church and world, society and culture, science, environmentalism, and more.
Recent programs have included:
community conversations about racial justice, climate change, and immigration
parish forum on embracing prayer in everyday living
a book discussion of The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief by Francis Collins.
a book discussion of The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Throughout the fall of 2023, parishioners have the opportunity to participate in the following:
Episcopal 101 Class - If it’s been a few years since your confirmation, or you have never been confirmed, this is the class for you! Episcopal 101 will be offered for three Sundays this fall as a brush up to the Episcopal church and a life with Christ. The dates are September 24, October 15 & 22. We will discuss topics such as Anglican history and polity, Bible and worship, prayer and spirituality. Although this class is for everyone, it can also serve as preparation for being officially received into the Episcopal Church.
No Fear Bible Study - Thursdays starting Oct 5th - Are you interested in a Bible Study, but afraid to expose your lack of familiarity with it? We have just the thing! Stephanie will be offering a weekly "No Fear Bible Study" Zoom meeting starting in October.
No fear if you have no experience in Bible study, we are all learning together. And if you have great familiarity, we are eager to hear your insights! It is designed to be user-friendly regardless of your prior experience. We will meet every Thursday afternoon at 4pm on Zoom. You are welcome to invite others to join us whether they are part of the church or not. You also don't need to come every week, but can drop in and out every week as your schedule permits.
GOSPEL TALK Email/Online Discussion Group - The Gospel Talk group continues each week. Matt Hickcox kindly uploads the scripture passage and delivers it via email to those that wish to read and comment on the lessons. Even if you never choose to comment and just want to reflect on the week's lessons privately, feel free to join the group. If you would like to receive this weekly email contact Matt.
