Step 4: invites us to look at "Discerning
and using spiritual gifts for ministry". We look at "exercises
to help us to invite the Holy Spirit into our exploration.
The text is also our own experience. This module invites us
to identify and explore how God speaks to us in our daily
lives."
Typically,
study groups are offered for either Tuesday nights at 7:30
pm or Sundays at noon with a "Brown-Bagger" group
- your choice. Childcare is made available for the Sunday
sessions.
The
remaining steps are...
Step
4. Putting Our Faith to Work in Practical Ways.
Step 5. We Worship: Therefore We Are: Therefore
We Worship?
Step 6. Living As Christians in the 21st
Century.
Step 7. Biblical Interpretation: Who Said
What, When and Why?
Step 8. Social Justice
We
invite you to enter into a voyage of discovery with us which
will explore our relationship with God - the Holy, the Creator
- as we live "on the border of the HOLY". We will
learn together from the printed and the spoken word, from
friends and sojouners, how we can live God's Love in this
amazing, beautiful and often terrifying world.
Our
equipment for the journey will include the foundational books
of our faith, thought-provoking books from our modern scholars,
guest-speakers, and video resources, but most of all, the
"spirit to know and love God, and the gift of joy and
wonder in all God's work."
This
Christian voyage of discovery will take place over the process
of four years, with two or three sessions being offered each
year. Each session will take six to ten weeks.
We
would love to have you travel the whole journey with us, but
we will also welcome you for any part of the trip.
Library

Room. Come and browse!
Other
Programs

and Lenten studies, and an annual parish conference, take
place during the year.
Preparation
Programs
Preparation programs for baptism, confirmation and the Eucharist
are provided at different times through the year; and are
