The Journey to Discipleship

The Rev'd Canon Dr. Michael W. Petty, Canon for Adult Formation

It is time to think about the next stage of our journey to discipleship! If you have not picked up a copy of the Spring Discipleship Opportunities Catalogue, please do so today. Once again, your Adult Formation Committee has planned a bountiful slate of classes, all of which are designed to guide us on the journey to discipleship. For the spring of 2022, the Adult Formation Committee has chosen to focus class offering on helping the parish live into the Parish Rule of Life. You can find information about the Parish Rule of Life on the website under the 'Resources' tab.

I would like to highlight a few of the classes being offered:

  • Archbishop Bob will be offering a class aimed at introducing us to the apostles and the great saints of the Church. (Tuesday evenings)

  • Fr. Matt and Daniel Halladay will help you to use the Book of Common Prayer to enrich your daily prayer life. (Wednesday evenings)

  • Fr. Jeff will introduce you to the fruit of the Spirit. (Wednesday evenings)

  • Fr. Marcus will lead you on an exploration of the Gospel of Mark. (Wednesday evenings)

  • Fred Thomson will help you to begin to appreciate the riches of Paul’s Letter to the Romans. (Wednesday evenings)

  • Fr. Andy Miller will introduce you to the basics of healing prayer. (Thursday evenings)

  • The Charles Simeon Lay School of Theology will offer a class on the faith of the New Testament. (during the Easter Season)

These are just a few of the discipleship opportunities that will be offered in the spring. To learn about others, pick up a copy of the Spring Discipleship Opportunities Catalogue or visit our website.

Space in each class is limited, so please register now!

I look forward to this next stage of our journey to discipleship.
