Christian Formation is a life-long process. Our task as Christians is to continue to become the
people that God intends for us to be. To that end, we encourage regular participation in
worship, and we offer classes and groups for all ages.

Sundays:

Children pre-K through grade 5 begin each 10:15 service with their parents and depart for
their classes following the children's sermon. About once a month, children stay in church for
the whole service and serve as ushers, readers, and oblation bearers.

Youth grades 6 through 9 are enrolled in a special program, The Journey to Adulthood,
which meets at 9:00 on Sunday mornings and has some afternoon and evening activities each
month. Two sections of this program, Rite 13 and J2A, meet separately. For more information
about this program, or to enroll a young person, please call the church office or e-mail the
rector at sjlatimer@adelphia.net.

Adults meet at 9:15 on Sunday mornings for a study group. Recently the group has discussed
"Prayer" by Richard Foster, and has studied The Gospel of John.

High School Youth meet in youth group on Sunday evenings for food and fellowship. Trips
and outings are scheduled on a regular basis.

Other times:

Retreats, Quiet Days, and special programs are offered in Advent, Lent, and throughout
the year. Recent Lenten programs included Taize' worship and Celtic Spirituality in Poetry and
Song.

A Book Discussion/Spirituality Group facilitated by the rector meets most Tuesday
evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. to discuss books on the topic of spirituality. Recent books include,
"Do what you have the power to do - a study of six unnamed New Testament women",
"Practicing our Faith", and "Friend of the Soul - A Benedictine Spirituality of Work". Come
join this supportive group as we continue to explore our faith together!

A Wednesday Lunch Group meets most Wednesdays from 11:30 to 1:00 to discuss a book.
Recent books include:"To Love as God Loves".

For more information about any of the above programs, please call the church office or e-mail
the rector at sjlatimer@adelphia.net.
