For Adults

Why ‘Formation’ and Not ‘Education’? Formation is a process like apprenticeship that goes beyond amassing information. Adult formation engages the whole person - intellect, passions, and spirit - in the never-ending journey of our becoming like Jesus Christ. ​

THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Tuesdays, Nov. 25, Dec. 2, 9, 16 | 6 PM | Online via Zoom | George Lynch, Facilitator

​We will study Matthew this Advent as we enter Year A of the Lectionary Cycle where the Gospel of Matthew is the primary gospel reading. This 4-part series will explore The Coming of the King, The Teachings of the Kingdom, The Power of the Kingdom, and The Triumph of the King.The series is intended to be a high-level overview of Matthew with focus on themes, the writer's perspective, where Matthew is read during the Lectionary Cycle and a comparison of Matthew to the other Synoptic Gospels (Mark and Luke). Click here for Series Outline

ONGOING:
HEAR THE SPIRIT, FROM HOME | Wednesdays, On-going, 8 - 9:30 a.m., Online via Zoom
Led by Fr. Dan Rondeau, former Assistant Rector of St. Margaret’s. Tune your heart to the whispers (or shouts) of the Holy Spirit as we open the scriptures to be read in worship the following Sunday. The classroom is “virtual,” accessible from anywhere you happen to be on Wednesday morning. New participants are welcome at any time. Contact Fr. Dan at [email protected] for the Zoom link.

REFLECTIONS ON THE WORD | Sundays, On-going, Following 10 a.m. service, Lee 1 Classroom
Facilitated by Don Johnson; Expert art commentary by Hovak Najarian. 

We are a group of people seeking a broader and deeper understanding of the weekly Scripture readings, including a commentary on works of art related to the Biblical themes. In this faith-based setting, we actively explore the historical, literary, aesthetic, and personal applications of the readings, beyond the literal dimension. Join us as we seek to open Scripture’s liberating power on the deeper questions that it gives us.
WEDNESDAY MORNING & EVENING PRAYER ONLINE 
Wednesday On-line Prayer is on a temporary hiatus until the end of 2025. Watch for more information about it's return in 2026.
