We’re beginning this year with a once-a-month gathering using Building Faith Brick by Brick. We hear bible stories, do some wondering together, and reflect on the scripture using Lego bricks!

We are gathering kids of all ages together: 3 and all the way up to middle and high schoolers. This curriculum is easy for kids of different ages to engage, whatever their developmental stage. We’re also inviting interested adults to come hang out, to learn, to share, to build connections across generations. Over time we hope our older youth might take the lead in telling bible stories and teaming up with the younger kids, building relationships. For now we are going to see what happens when God’s people gather together, at different ages and stages, to know Jesus in our midst!

Questions? Email Mo. Jenna, Katie Loadholtes, or Laura Alexander.

Reader Meeting and Brief Training: 9/19 after worship

Have you recently started serving as a reader/intercessor in worship? Have you been doing it for years? Interested, thought about it, but never quite known what to expect? Proclaiming scripture in worship and voicing the prayers of the community are sacred ministries, and a great way to dip a toe in a little deeper at St. Benedict's. On 9/19 right after both 8:00 and 10:30 worship, ALL readers-- current and prospective-- are invited to a 45 minute-or-less training in the nave. Just show up! We're especially excited for children and youth to serve! If you have questions contact Mo. Jenna or Saralee Parker.

It's so important that the assembly hears God's word read by people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and voices reflecting the diversity of the body of Christ. This is a great ministry for folks looking to get more involved!

Join us in making lunches for the Church of the Common Ground. We will gather in the kitchen after the 8:00 service this Sunday (around 8:45) and monthly on the dates below for sandwich making and packing lunch bags.

Contact Taylor Stukes with any questions.

October 17, November 7, December 5

Cathedral of St. Philip

9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Jesus and his first followers were Jews, thoroughly grounded in Jewish Scripture, Jewish ethics and theology, and Jewish hopes. To understand the New Testament is thus to recover part of Jewish history. How has knowledge of this common history become lost? How might understanding the New Testament in its historical context provide not only a new way of approaching Jewish-Christian relations but also a new way of celebrating our common roots? Our topics include the Our Father prayer, the Parables of the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan, Jesus’ comments on observing Torah (Jewish Law), and Jesus’ relations to women and to gentiles. Read more & register...

Youth 8th grade and up are invited to join Mo. Jenna to prepare for confirmation. Each session we'll eat dinner together, and using Rowan Williams's book Being Christian, we'll explore Baptism, Bible, Eucharist, and Prayer, and discern what ministry God might be equipping and empowering YOU to do. If you have any questions, contact Mo. Jenna.

This fall the Women's Bible Study group will resume their discussion of the Gospel of John by initially gathering on September 13, 2021 at 10:30 AM and thereafter on succeeding Monday mornings. For now, because of the virulence of the Covid virus and especially the Delta variant, we will continue to meet via Zoom. All are welcome.
