Christian Formation for all ages will resume on September 7, 2008 with Rally Sunday.
To be a Christian means to live life in response to God, and the Episcopal and Anglican tradition offers a broad and comprehensive way to live out that life. This series of classes is designed for adults who wish to explore what it means to be a Christian in the Episcopal tradition. Previously called the "Inquirer's Class", it is ideal for those who would like to engage their faith more fully, deepen their understanding of the Episcopal Church, or who are seeking to be Confirmed or Received into the Church. The class will meet from 79 p.m. on Wednesday evenings: March 26, April 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30, and for a mini-retreat at the church the morning of Saturday, May 3. To sign up for the class or more information, contact the Rev. Nate Rugh at 412.661.0120, extension 12.
Join us for this summer's Vacation Bible School (VBS), June 16-20, 2008. All children ages 3 through 5th grade are invited to take a trip back in history, where we will encounter Jesus as he heals the sick, calms a great storm, feeds 5000 people, and even raises his friend Lazarus from the dead! In addition to these great stories, there will be plenty of games, crafts, snacks, and of course the famous sand box and water play. VBS runs from 911:30 a.m. each day. Contact Gregg Morris at 412.661.0120, extension 16 for more information.
New participants in any of these classes are always welcome.
