Adult Formation Opportunities
Join Us for Learning, Fellowship, and Coffee!
Formation led by Holly Chesser & the Rev. John Porter
Join us for a special two-part Sunday morning forum series with longtime parishioner Holly Chesser, who teaches Upper School English at the Lovett School. Holly holds a B.A. in English Language and Literature from the University of Virginia and an M.A. in Educational Psychology from the University of Connecticut. She and her husband Pat have been part of Holy Innocents for many years and are celebrating the birth of their first granddaughter in Denver. She will be joined by the Rev. John Porter.
The Trick and the Treat of Creation
On Sunday, October 26, as we approach All Hallows’ Eve, we will explore the two creation stories in Genesis and the competing images of God as just and merciful—leaving us with the timeless rabbinic question: should humankind have been created at all?
From Frankenstein to Clones: Playing God
On Sunday, November 2, as we observe All Souls and All Saints, we will help us examine human beings as creators in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go. Together we’ll wrestle with the haunting question: What obligation does the creator have to its creation?
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.
