CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
"One Story About One God: The Bible in 60 Minutes"
by Daniel Smith | Sunday, October 11 | 11:30 AM-1 PM
What if reading the Bible isn't something you should do — but something you get to do? That's the question at the heart of a conversation between Marty Chapman and Daniel Smith, Associate Professor of New Testament at Saint Louis University and a beloved teacher of our 8th grade confirmation students for the past 12 years. Daniel will bring that conversation to life in person this fall. Sign up on Realm or contact the church office at 314-721-1502. Childcare and lunch is available for elementary school and younger with advance registration

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION: ADULT OPTIONS
Interim Pastor’s Adult Forum Inquirer’s Class
Sunday Mornings at 9 AM in the Library
Beginning October 11 for 8 Weeks
Would you like a refresher course on what Episcopalians believe? Are you an adult who wishes to be baptized or is considering being baptized or confirmed? Are you an adult who wishes to be Received into this Communion?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, or if you would just like to be supportive of those persons who answer yes to any of these questions, then this class is for you! It’s a class designed not only for newcomers, but also for people who have been Episcopalians all of their lives. The more diversity we have, the more interesting it is for everyone!
