Adult Forum

Our Sunday program, called Adult Forum, consists of varying topics throughout the school year from September through May. The Adult Forum meets from 9:30 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. in the parish hall. Occasionally we have alternative classes for adults meeting at the same time in the library. Coffee and quiet are available in Neve Hall.

For adults who are interested in confirmation, reception or reaffirmation, there are classes led by the clergy a few weeks before the bishop’s visitation.

Our theme for 2011-2012 is Called to Faith.

The Spirituality of Peacemaking

By nature of our baptismal covenant all Episcopalians are called to live a life of peacemaking, a life in which we respect the dignity of every human being. It seems simple enough, however, advocating for peace often isn’t as easy as it seems. Are we searching for an inner spiritual peace? Or simply the absence of conflict? Or perhaps called to a particular political stance in the world? What exactly is the Church calling us to do?
