Adult Christian Education at the Mediator takes many forms, including:
- Adult Forum (Sunday Mornings)
- Midweek Bible Study / Prayer Group (Tuesday Mornings)
- Inquirers’ Class (Scheduled According to Interest)
- Spiritual Formation Groups
Adult Forum
Adult Forum meets in the Commons Room Sunday mornings from 9:10 a.m. to 10:05 a.m. (child care is available in the Nursery for children too young for Sunday School). “Adult” because we never grow too old to learn and think. “Forum” because we wrestle together in an open forum, discussing, asking questions and providing (often tentative) answers, and interacting with one another. For a list of programs, look here.
Midweek Bible Study / Prayer Group
Tuesday Morning at 10:00 a.m., after Eucharist
Every Tuesday morning at 10:00, after Eucharist, this ongoing group begins with a devotional Bible Study, usually focusing on the lessons for the upcoming Sunday. The group continues with discussion, closing with prayers for those who are sick and the pastoral needs of our parish. Visitors and new members are always welcome.
Monday Morning Bible Study
Monday Mornings at 10:00 a.m. in the Library
The Monday morning Bible Class resumes on September 21, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. in the library. The first of the Gospels, this study of Mark will explore Jesus as a powerful man, confident in his choices and thoroughly trusting in God even as he faces persecution and ultimately death. Mark’s words are encouragement to uncertain disciples of all ages to see clearly the path Jesus invites us to follow.
We will be using the Kerygma series for this eight-week study. You can sign up in the library where study guides will be available. If you have questions, contact Patricia G.
Thursday Evening Class
Beginning September 17, 7:30-9:00 p.m., The Rev. Maria Tjeltveit will lead a study of God’s Mechanics: How Scientists and Engineers Make Sense of Religion, by Guy Consolmagno. The discussion will run through October 22. Books will be available September 1, for $16.50.
Inquirers’ Class
The Adult Inquirers’ Class for those seeking to learn more about their faith, or prepare for baptism, confirmation, or reception into the Episcopal Church is held prior to our bishop’s visit each year. Times will be announced as plans are made.
