Lenten Adult Ed Series Begins February 18

This year, we will explore Will You? A Lenten Study of Baptismal Promises, a program developed by The Forward Movement, a ministry of The Episcopal Church. It will be presented after the 10:00 am service on the Sundays in Lent.

This study is based on our Baptismal vows. The program is appropriate for Lenten study as Lent is, historically, a time of preparation for Baptism which is associated with Easter.

Booklets will be provided, containing five chapters based on the five “will you” questions of our Baptismal Covenant. Each week we will examine and discuss one of these questions. Conversational-style readings will be provided to prompt our own questions, experiences, responses, and discussion. 

Our Vows of Baptism are statements we, as baptized Christians, all have in common. In these days of feeling alone and isolated, where it seems we are intentionally being separated from each other, I hope you will welcome this opportunity to explore and live into this common ground of our Spirituality.

This is another opportunity to be open to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

I hope you will join us on this journey, and that, together, we will discover deeper dimensions of our faith. Come, Holy Spirit!
