Event Series: Adult Formation

Adult Formation

March 15 @ 9:15 am - 10:15 am

The word “formation” is more than just Episcopal jargon for Sunday School or Christian Education. When we come together in community to study and pray and discuss the ways of God, we are being shaped and reshaped by new ideas and the perspectives of others. Sometimes we get a glimpse of God and of who God calls us to be.

April 19: Practicing Resurrection, with Calvary Clergy (Bethlehem Chapel)

To no one’s surprise, Calvary clergy have more to say about Easter and resurrection. And we think you probably have some thoughts, too! With a few prompts, we’ll consider together what it means to practice the art of resurrection throughout the Easter season and beyond.

 

April 26: “All I really need to know I learned at Calvary” (Bethlehem Chapel)

We celebrate Calvary’s graduating seniors today. Come listen to their stories and hear what they’ve learned and witnessed growing up in these pews.

 

May 3 (& 17): Job: A new way of reading an old story (Bethlehem Chapel)

Tricia Vesely reintroduces us to a story and a man we may know only through his trials and tribulations. Dr. Vesely is a faculty member of Memphis Theological Seminary whose work focuses on Hebrew Scripture and Christian Ethics.

 

May 10:  Matriarchs, with Katherine Bush (Bethlehem Chapel)

There are many complex women in the Biblical narrative, and the stories of mothers and mothering are wildly diverse. On this Mother’s Day, we’ll meet a few well-known and some lesser-known moms, plus some images and ideas about motherhood from the pages of scripture. You might be surprised at what we find there.
