The Gospel According to Mark
Sundays in Epiphany, 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM, The Chapel
Wednesdays, 12 Noon - 1:00 PM
Throughout this season of Epiphany, Fr. Jenkins will lead a crash course on the Gospel of Mark. This formation opportunity is especially timely because we will encounter Mark's Gospel in our Sunday Eucharistic liturgy throughout 2018. There are no books for class, but it is strongly recommended that you read the full Gospel straight through within the next two weeks, which should take one and a half to two hours. Two opportunities to gather: In the chapel, Sundays at 9:30
AM & Wednesdays from noon to 1
PM.

My Faith - My Life -- grades 6-12
Leader: Todd Shafer
Youth Formation held in the Youth Room, Upstairs Parish House. But first, breakfast to get the morning going!
|
 SPARK -- Ages 8-10 or grades 3-5
Leader: Coleman Graham
Location: Room #1, Children's Ministries Center
Our older children will again immerse themselves in SPARK, where they will work with the same themes and Scripture that we all encounter in common worship. Every lesson follows a four-part pattern: Gather, Open the Bible, Activate Faith, and Send. Week after week, the children and their leaders gather together, explore the Scriptures, enjoy one another's company, pray, and discover God's presence in their midst. |
 Godly Play -- Ages 4-7
Leaders: Ginny Henson & Kim Butler
Location: Room #2 Children's Ministry Center
ALL children inherently know God, but it is up to us to give them the language of the Christian faith so they can grow to make meaning of our faith in their own lives. Godly Play is a profound method rooted in Montessori principles that forms child spirituality by attending to their natural gifts for wonder and discovery. Children are greeted at the door of the Godly Play room by Ginny, the "door person." It is VERY important for parents to respect the boundary of the door threshold by not entering the children's sacred space--their Godly Play room. We cannot wait to welcome your children each Sunday! |
