Everyone is invited to participate in St. Mary’s
Christian Education program which meets on Sunday mornings at 9:30
a.m. in our
Parish House September
through May.
We offer opportunities for all ages
(infant to adult) to learn, grow and meet other members of the
community who share in the journey to Christ. In case of emergency, we strongly urge parents to
stay on St. Mary’s grounds while their children participate in
Christian Formation. Please consider taking part in Adult Ed this
year!
-
Infant/Toddler
From newborn to 3 years old, the nursery allows the children to play
in a safe, caring environment while exploring an introduction to
Christian Education.
-
Godly Play (Ages Pre-K to 6th Grade)
A Montessori-inspired method of teaching Biblical stories and church
traditions, Godly Play introduces and nurtures our children’s
relationship with God.
-
Journey to Adulthood (7th -12th Grade)
J2A is six year program designed to encourage young adults to
explore their relationship with God and community. This is an
innovative and new approach to mentor young adults as they
experience this spiritual journey with the hope of retaining young
adults who may otherwise disengage from the church community in
their late teens.
-
Adult Education
- Sundays
& Wednesday
Evenings
The Adult Education program offers up to three Sunday morning classes that
center on religious and spiritual issues, both traditional and
contemporary. Topics have included “God in the Headlines” a lively
discussion about God and current events, Bible study and discussions
of a current book, relating it to Christianity.
Topics
for Fall 2007 Include: Contemporary
Issues, Aging with Grace.... Reflections to Inspire the Mature Years
and The Scared Art Of Living and Dying
The heart of Christian Education for people of
all ages is participation in the Sunday Eucharist. Christian
Education is a lifelong process of worship, growth, learning and
sharing in the Christian faith. All adult classes, programs, and
ministry grow out of this central experience of worship.
Participation in our programs and classes requires no prior
experience or knowledge, only a desire to learn and deepen your
relationship with God in Christ. We look forward to your
participation.
