Faith Formation

 Adult Faith Formation -Beginning Sunday 1/28/2024 at 9 am:
Silence is Not an Option – Location  ATRIUM
In an earnest and searing wake-up call, the author of the bestseller Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy warns of the haunting similarities between todays American church and the German church of the 1930s. Echoing Bonhoeffers prophetic call, Eric Metaxas exhorts his fellow Christians to repent of their silence in the face of evil before it is too late. In this faith formation class, we will read the book “Letter to the American Church”.
For more information contact Father Tripp Jeffords, rtripp@stpaulssummerville.org.

 

Grand Generations – Location SKARDON HALL LIBRARY
Are you a grandparent, a grand aunt, a grand uncle or grand friend? Then join us January 28 for the beginning of six weeks of studies on how to be a “Grand” person in the 21 st century. Each week we will tackle topics of concern for the “Grand Generation”. We will hear from guest speaker Dave Wright on how to relate to your “grands” in the midst of the confusing turmoil of the 21 st century. We will also glean from the expertise of our own Sherry Schumann on how to share the gospel with your grandchildren. Cathy Jacobs will begin the series by casting the Biblical vision of God’s view of this critical role of being a “grand” to the generations behind us. This is a big contrast from the cultural view of grand parenting. We will end the six weeks with a panel discussion answering your submitted questions.
