FORMATION + FELLOWSHIP
CHRISTIAN FORMATION
We know that Christian education is more than acquiring knowledge; it is about helping one another discover God’s presence in and purpose for our lives. Christian Formation provides opportunities for learning and growing together in our faith, as well as in our relationships with one another.
CURRENT FORMATION OPPORTUNITIES
Christian Formation is on Summer Break! We’ll be back in the Fall, beginning September 21.
What’s In The Book?
Sunday at 9am, September 21 & 28
Gathering in the Parish Hall
The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is considered one of the unifying features of Anglicans around the world. At over 1,000 pages in length, it includes prayers, worship services, historical documents, calendars, and portions of the Bible. Join us as we explore how you might use the BCP to deepen your own faith practices beyond Sunday morning. All are welcome!
The Three Legged Stool
Sunday at 9am, October 12, 19 & 26
Gathering in the Parish Hall
Join parishioner and explorer Brenna Seifried Ruiz for a three-part series on the role of the Bible and Bible Study in Episcopal life. In this interactive learning experience, we’ll ask and answer three big questions: What, So What, and Now What? What is the role of the Bible for followers of Christ? So What does that mean for us personally and corporately, as the body of Christ? Now What do we do with that understanding? Try out simple ways to study the Word of God and incorporate it into your daily life. Share with others what the Bible has meant in your own life. Come for one session or for all!
FELLOWSHIP
Coffee Hour
Coffee Hour is held most Sundays after the 10:30 worship service. This weekly time for fellowship is hosted by parishioners who sign up to make coffee and bring light snacks to share. Hosting is a breeze when you sign up with your family or a friend! Contact the church office if you’d like to learn more about hosting Coffee Hour.
Young Adult Gatherings
Friends in their 20s & 30s are invited to meet monthly for fun, fellowship, and to grow in their faith together.
Gatherings occur monthly and are held at local business around downtown Dayton.
Labyrinth Writings Walks
Walking a labyrinth is a very personal experience, though some folks find sharing that time with like-minded souls mighty worthwhile, too. Labyrinth Writings Walks occur on a seasonal basis, typically in the spring, summer and fall. Small groups gather to share a short reading or two about Life, then one by one head into the labyrinth to discover what it holds for each on a contemplative afternoon.
Check back in 2025 for spring & summer dates!
Sundae Sundays
A favorite gathering for kids and adults alike, Sundae Sundays are a summer hit! Typically held once a month from May – September, Sundae Sunday is filled with ice cream and smiles following the 10:30 worship service.
