November 8 — Holiday Market

An Introduction to the Gospel of Mark

November 15 & 22, December 6 & 13

The church calendar starts with Advent each year. On November 29, we begin Year B, which follows the Gospel of Mark. While we tend to hit frappe on the blender between the four gospels, the reality is that each of the four books has very distinct ideas, lessons, and views of religion, Jesus, and the world. Come and hear Bill, Stewart, and our seminarian Angela teach about the distinct stories and themes that Mark will teach us throughout the year.

November 29 – Advent Wreath Fundraiser

December 20 – Come and Meet Jenna

Come and get to know our new Associate Rector, the Rev. Jenna Strizak. How did she come from Judaism to Christianity? What is her favorite Gospel? What does she do for fun? What is her favorite ice cream? What else do you want to know? Be sure to be present to ask your questions and get to know our wonderful, skilled new priest!

Holy Living, Holy Dying

January 10, 17, 24

Jeremy Taylor wrote two books about what matters the most in life. He was convinced that the best life was one that considered death and the best death was one that celebrated life. Come and join us for conversations about life and death and all the ways that they teach us to celebrate the gifts we have today!

Children and Youth Formation Opportunities

Godly Play

Godly Play is a Montessori approach to Christian Formation in which 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 deepen 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.
