Picture yourself as a seedling in God's
hands. God gives you life, and soon you are
baptized into the life of Christ. Each day, you are
nurtured and guided along the path God has chosen for you.
God shapes you and strengthens you for life's journey ahead.
Many of us believed that once we were
confirmed as teenagers, our years of nurturing, of
formation, were complete.

|
Here at Christ Church, we feel
differently. We believe that to experience the
fullness of Christian life, we need to continuing nurturing
our lives in Christ.
To that end, we offer adult formation time
each Sunday for one hour between our 8am and 10:30 am
services.

Nearly every week, we offer the Sunday
Forum. This class is usually oriented toward a topic of
interest, and we often feature a series of classes.
Sometimes we are led by our priest, and other times a member
of Christ Church or a guest speaker leads us. |
|
We have learned about the life of Jesus,
John the Baptist and Mary, Mother of Jesus. We have been
introduced to Judaism and Islam. One recent four-week
session, entitled "To Bring Good News", gave us an
overview of the history of the Episcopal Church, the
similarities (and differences) between Episcopalianism and
other branches of the Christian Church and our hopes for the
future. |

|
At times, the Sunday Forum is
complemented by another choice, the Sunday Bible Study. Here
are study God's Word, seeking to understand the Bible
better, to explore our faith, and to find connections
between the Bible and our daily lives. We have recently
looked at the Gospel of Mark and Paul's Letter to the
Romans. You don't need to be a Bible scholar or a rocket
scientist to come join us. All you need is curiosity.
Our offerings are varied, but never boring.
Come and join us! Before long, you'll be growing stronger
and bearing much fruit! |
