The Way of St. Francis
Meets Sundays in Easter (April 24 to May 8) | 10:15 – 11:00 a.m. in the Vestry Room | In-person and Via Zoom
St. Francis is among the most beloved saints in Christian history, yet few of us know much more about him than that he was a lover of animals who inspired our tradition of pet blessing. Join Fr. Casey for a three-week exploration of the many extraordinary ways that Francis witnessed to the love of God and the way of Jesus, and why he remains an important example in our own day.
Fundamentals of Trust: Claiming the Resurrection in Our Relationships
Meets Sundays in Easter (April 24 to May 8) | 10:15 – 11:00 a.m. in the Parlor | In-person and Via Zoom
Abundant, resurrected life involves connection with God and one another. Join Mason McCamey, MS, LPC, and Mtr. Rebecca for an exploration of true belonging through relationships sustained by trust. We will engage with Brené Brown’s principles of “braving” and explore how they might equip us to reconnect into abundant communal life following an extended time of sickness and separation.
The Making of a Christian: Baptism, Confirmation, and Communion
Meets Sundays in Easter (April 24 to May 8) | 10:15 – 11:00 a.m. in Roper Hall | In-person only
These three turning points in the process of becoming a Christian are rich in meaning and symbolism. Those of us who were baptized as infants can reflect on the profundity of what happened when were too young to know what was taking place. Those who may be wondering whether to be baptized themselves or have their children baptized can explore that question here. Confirmation has had several different meanings in the course of Christian history: what does it mean in the Episcopal Church today? And when it is appropriate for someone to receive communion? Join Fr. Paul Bradshaw as he explores these foundational sacraments in our faith.
