Adult Education & Formation
Teach them the statutes and instructions and make known to them the way they are to go and the things they are to do. Exodus 18:20
Formation and deepening knowledge of the Christian faith is an essential part of the Anglican ethos. CSS endeavors to provide illuminating, interesting and challenging educational programs for adults as well as children.
Fall Adult Formation
Sundays, October 11–November 15, at 12:30 pm in the Undercroft
This fall, we will hold an Inquirer’s Class, where folks are welcome to bring their questions about The Episcopal Church, Christianity as a whole, et cetera. While it is especially appropriate for those considering joining the church, all are welcome and all questions are entertained!
Over the course of four Sundays we will further hold Bible Study for Beginners - a welcoming way into the Bible, particularly for those who feel intimidated or that they don’t have a strong background in Bible. After one orientation session intended to help give context, we will study the Book of Revelations, aided by Barbara Rossing’s The Rapture Exposed: The Message of Hope in the Book of Revelation.
Adult Forums
Sundays at 9:30 am in the Undercroft
Adult forum is spent in learning, theological reflection, and building Christian community.
You are welcome to come to any session of interest to you and when your schedule allows. Most Sundays are self-contained, so you can join at any time without worrying about what went before.
