Formation

Sundays, 9:30-10:15 AM, St. Sophia’s Room

This class is for anyone interested in learning more about the Episcopal Church—its history, traditions, beliefs, and practices. Class attendees have the option of becoming confirmed members of St. Andrew’s in the spring but are under no obligations. All are welcome to attend.

Thanks Be to God: Reading Scripture Together

Sundays, 9:30-10:15 AM, St. Catherine’s Room October 25 - November 22

Thanks Be to God is a five-week Scripture series exploring biblical moments of gratitude as we move through Hallowtide and toward Thanksgiving.

Along the way, we’ll also practice how we read Scripture together in the Episcopal tradition. Each week, we’ll hear, read, mark, learn, and be formed: attending closely to the text, noticing what surprises or complicates an easy reading, bringing historical and literary context into the conversation, and considering what the passage asks of us.

Children come to the 10:30 a.m. service with their families. After the daily Collect (about 5 minutes into the service), they will be dismissed for Children’s Chapel with Mr. Mark and a children’s formation teacher leading them in a procession to Lowndes Hall. In Lowndes Hall, the teachers will provide a short lesson related to the Sunday Gospel reading, some fun activities, and some songs. Then the teachers will lead the children back to the Nave in time for the Children’s Blessing.

Brown Bag Bible Study is a relaxed, midweek gathering where we bring our lunch, and enjoy thoughtful conversation and community lead by Father Jared Houze.

Join us at noon in the Children’s Chapel in Lowndes Hall. Feel free to bring your lunch and stay after prayer for fellowship together in St. Gregory’s Room.
