Christian Education
 

Adult Forum

Each Sunday morning, the Adult Forum meets in the Parish Hall. From time to time discussion of various topics and issues involving the life of our parish may be featured, but typically we'll be studying one book of the Bible at a time. All adults are invited to be part of this time for instruction in scripture and formation in faith.

Child care provided.
      
 

Children's Sunday School

Christian education for children ages 3-12 is a high priority at St. Mark's. We offer a Lectionary-based curriculum that introduces the children to the themes and seasons of the Church Year and stories from the Bible. We seek to channel and nourish a natural love of God in them. A weekly service in the children's chapel helps young Christians learn the the liturgy in a child-friendly atmosphere. Children are welcome in the main services and generally join the congregation prior to communion each week. Sunday School classes meet from September through May.

Confirmation Class

The confirmation class is a twelve-week course in Christian discipleship which is intended to increase our knowledge, commitment and devotion to God in Christ. Special emphasis is placed  on our identity as Anglican Christians coming from an ancient tradition of English Spirituality which has a unique blend of intellectual content with heartfelt emotional bonding with our Savior. Classes are led by the clergy and may be supplemented by lay members of the parish who have a particular expertise in some dimension of Christian life and witness. Registration is required because of space limitations and program demands.

Women's Bible Study

Women (all ages) of the parish are invited to attend a Bible study class on Tuesday evenings at 7:00. The current study covers the Women of the Bible and extends to wherever our ramblings take us from that starting point. Discussions are informal,  lively, timely, and wide-ranging.

Women (of all ages) are invited to attend the Women's Book Study on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 5:30 - 7:00pm.  We slowly and deliberately discuss a Christian book that is relevant to our lives.  Each month we discuss 1 or 2 chapters of the book.  Currently we are reading The Worry Free Life:  Taking Control Of Your Thought Life By Weeding Out The Bad And Nurturing The Good by Terence J. Sandbek, Ph.D. and Patrick W. Philbrick.  Childcare is provided.
