Discovery & Initiation classes: March - May
Do you want to explore issues of faith, or a spiritual life, or relationship with God?
The conversations about each evening's topic begin over a light supper, followed by a presentation by the clergy. Each evening ends with the prayers for the close of the day. The first four "Discovery Classes" are open to all. The final four "Initiation Classes" are intended for those seeking Baptism, Confirmation, Reception or Reaffirmation on Ascension Sunday, May 17th at the 11:00 a.m. Eucharist. Please sign up in the Parish Hall.
