: : Faith Formation
Faith Formation is a lifelong process of becoming more fully who we are as children of God. No matter how young or how old we are, each one of us is to continue to be shaped more fully into who and what God intends us to be.
At the heart of our Christian faith is the process of being formed. At St. Paul's, Faith Formation has been set by the Rector and Vestry as a priority for our parish over the next five years. Our hope is to provide life long learning for all ages, engaging not only the mind but the spirit as well. Faith Formation is not limited to Sunday morning in a classroom because all aspects of our lives are opportunities for growth.
: : Faith is about the journey not the destination
St. Paul's offers throughout the year several classes geared towards educating both newcomers and chuch alumni/ae about what it means to be Christian and what makes us uniquely Episcopalian. Episcopal 101 & 102 are two courses offered twice a year as an introduction to the Episcopal Church.
Our Director of Christian Education, dedicated teachers and Rector all strive to make life long learning fun and interesting for all. We encourage you to explore the different offerings for all ages on our formation pages.
: : Sunday School Snippets
We started wandering in the wilderness and will continue the next couple of weeks. The children will be making an Ark of the Covenant, putting on a puppet show, and plotting the path the Hebrews followed through the desert.
This will be Mrs. Bay’s last week with us in Sunday school. She has been a wealth of knowledge and very creative with lesson plans. She has wonderful patience and understands how all the children learn, so please say thank-you to her and let her know we want her to be a guest teacher when she was the time!
