Formation

Adult Formation Opportunities 

“I will with God’s help” March 3 – April 28

These are the words with which we enter the Baptismal Covenant in the Episcopal Church. Companion with our confirmation candidates for this class series. See it as a refresher course and Reaffirm your own faith when our Bishop visits on May 5th. This class will explore all the questions to which we answer, “I will with God’s help,” at Baptism, Confirmation, and every Renewal of the Baptismal Covenant. 

Ye Olde Hymn Sing | March 17

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with mimosas and breakfast as we sing some familiar favorites…plus some fun St. Patty’s Day surprises. Will someone unlock the alleluias? Who will play the kazoo? Join us during formation for food, merriment, and song. We have raffles, guest solos on our spin-a-wheel, and good casual singing. As you enter Inglett Hall, please sign up for one of our raffles. This is a fundraiser event benefiting the Choir/Parish Scotland trip this summer.

Sabbath, Sabbaticals, and Renewal | May 12 & May 19

“And on the 7th day, God rested from all the work that he had done. . .” From our weekly observance of rest on the sabbath, allowing a field to lie fallow, to sabbatical years and the Year of Jubilee, God has fashioned us and all creation, to need rest and relaxation. Let’s talk about the vulnerability and risk of taking rest, and consider ways to make it happen, as we seek to live a more wholehearted life.

Ongoing: Faith and Fiction | Large Conference Room

Join Dr. Sally Parsonson, a long-time English professor at Millsaps College and member of Holy Innocents, as she leads a vibrant discussion on American Short Stories and their relationship to faith and life. 

Children and Youth Formation Opportunities 

Godly Play

Godly Play is a Montessori approach to Christian Formation where children in PreK-3rd grade are taught Christian language through the presentation of 3-dimensional stories and open-ended work time.

Club 45

4th and 5th graders are invited to join Club 45 where they will continue their spiritual formation and expand on their language and understanding of their identity in Christ. Club 45 will dig deep into the stories of the Bible using vibrant illustrations to discover their part in God’s big story.

Youth

Each Sunday, our youth gather together to check in on each other, enjoy some breakfast, and learn more about God’s Word. Join us as we explore the Gospels this year and discover how their stories fit within our own.
