CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Melanie Click
Christian Education

Melanie ClickECA provides educational opportunities for the entire congregation.  Our mission is to help all members study the Holy Scriptures, come to know, love and serve God, develop a meaningful, personal relationship with Jesus, and understand the authority he has given us to minister to others.  In addition, our emphasis is to examine the Episcopal traditions and the Book of Common Prayer and its basis in scripture.

Throughout the year special classes or activities are scheduled.  They can run in length from a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday after church to a given number of weeks held during the week day or evening.  These classes or activities are open to any interested person and are usually announced at the Sunday morning services during announcements, listed in the Sunday bulletin, published in the Shape, posted on the bulletin board at church, and posted on our Web page calendar.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Sunday School begins at 10:10 a.m. and ends at 10:50 a.m.  Our regular Sunday School year begins in September and ends in May.  Our children's classes are provided for ages 4 and above through high school.  Teachers and assistants attend training classes before each new unit.  This is another way for your children to learn more about the Christian faith as well as build community in the process.

Current Adult Education Offerings

Thursday Morning Bible Study
10:30 am - noon

 Thursday morning bible study is held at 10:30 in the choir room.  Whether you are an old pro, or a novice who's never done it before, you are invited to study the bible with an informal, lay-led group. The only requirement is a willingness to engage in reflection on the Bible's meaning for our lives today. We meet from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm at the church. Everyone is welcome. Come when you can.

A schedule and a printable set of lessons are posted in PDF format on the Thursday Morning Bible Study page.
