We include children in our worship service as part of their education. Helping with the offertory and assisting as acolytes in the altar party provides opportunity for integrating the sacramental elements of our life together in community.



​ADULT EDUCATION includes Scripture Studies and Readings on Spiritual Formation.

BOOK STUDY
Regular Book Studies are held throughout the year. We gather both in person and with the option to zoom in.

Join us in September as Warden Rita Carver facilitates Breathing Underwater: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps by Richard Rohr.
Richard Rohr asks us to consider what attachments we have, and frames them in the context of addictions that separate us from God and one another. This is not a book about AA, but about human nature. Contact Rita Carver or the office for info.
This Study will be held after church over five Sundays throughout the Fall: 9/25,  10/9,  10/23,  11/6,  11/20

Recent Studies have included:
​Being Christian: Baptism, Bible, Eucharist, Prayer by Rowan Williams (Retired Archbishop of Canterbury)
