If you would like to explore the basics of our faith from an Episcopal perspective, we will offer preparation classes for Confirmation, Reception, and Reaffirmation of Faith. We will meet on Wednesday nights, from 7:00 - 8:30 pm in the Parish Hall, starting on September 17 and going every week until we conclude on November 5. Each session will last 90 minutes and cover topics like the Bible, (what’s in there, where did it come from, and how do we interpret it) the Life of Prayer (including a review of the Book of Common Prayer), the Sacraments (including a review of “why we worship the way we worship”), the Spiritual Gifts & Discipleship, and, of course, responses to your questions. If you are interested, there’s a sign-up sheet on the table in the Narthex, or you can email Fr. Michael to reserve a place or ask questions. This is also an opportunity to brush up on some of the basics, even if you don’t need or desire confirmation, reception, or reaffirmation. All are welcome.
