Adult Formation in Lent

Sundays at 9:15 AM

We’ve got some great things in store for Sunday formation in Lent, with two fantastic guest teachers! Meet us every Sunday in the Commons or in the Parlor at 9:15 AM for some good learning and food for the soul.

Lyric explorations of Lent

Poets have the gift of seeing almost everything and keeping it to a few words. During the five Sundays of Lent culminating in Palm Sunday, we will listen to the Gospel lesson for the day before exploring how a poet has listened too.

Readings and poems will be provided, so all you need to do is show up and enter the conversation. Poets will include Madeleine L’Engle, George Herbert, Emily Dickinson, Bob Hicok, John Donne, and Vassar Miller.

The class is lead by Esther Richey. Esther is Professor Emeritus from the University of South Carolina where she taught Shakespeare and Seventeenth Century poetry and prose. Most of her publications analyze her favorite poet, George Herbert, who has the same birthday as Esther and Mother Caitlyn Keith.

Class is held in the Parlor in the Parish Office.

Divided We Fall: Paul’s Enduring Message to a Riven Church

As part of our Lenten discipline, beginning February 19 and running through March 26, we will host a deep dive into St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians.  Dr. Kannaday returns to lead our study around the theme, “Divided We Fall: Paul’s Enduring Message to a Riven Church.”  Join us in reading one of the Apostle Paul’s most substantive and relevant missives.   

Class is held in the Garden Room in the Commons building.
