St. John’s annual Growing in Grace series allows all seekers of the faith to come together and learn more about Christianity, the Episcopal Church, and how we are to live and grow in our faith. This is a spiritual renewal course for adults seeking to become part of the Episcopal Church through confirmation or reception, or for those who simply want to publicly reaffirm their faith. This year, Fr. Lonnie and Mtr. Leslie will lead us through “Episcopal 101” over six weeks.
We will begin with our Growing in Grace Retreat on February 14 (9 AM-2 PM). At the retreat, we will get to know one another, discuss baptism, and explore what the course will entail.
This course will mean something different to each individual. Even if you’ve taken Growing in Grace before, consider joining us again, as this edition will be a unique experience (see schedule below).
Growing in Grace classes take place on Sunday afternoons from 2:30-4:00 PM in Killeen Hall. Classes are clergy and lay leader led with small group discussion. We will meet on the following Sundays:
February 22 – The Episcopal Way (A brief crash-course in church history)
March 1 – NO CLASS
March 8 – The People of the Book (How we read, believe & use Scripture)
March 15 – Worship (A discussion about sacraments, season, and Sundays)
March 22 – The Trinitarian Life (What we mean when we talk about the Trinity & why it matters)
March 29 – The Apostolate (The next steps for living your faith at St. John’s and beyond)
If you have questions about the confirmation process or would like to join this year’s class, contact Claire Dodd, Director of Communications & Membership.
