Summer Catechesis Night Schedule
The goal of Adult Catechesis is to equip Anglican worshippers with the necessary understanding of our faith, our shared practices, and our history. Catechesis is religious formation based on doctrine. As such, it should encompass many different areas: dogmatic theology, liturgical theology, moral theology, biblical theology, historical theology, and missiology. We will provide catechesis based on cycles, moving from one topic to another in order to provide comprehensive formation for our parishioners.

New Art Added to the Parish Hall
Psalm 96:9 tells us to “worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” As Anglicans, we pray this daily at Morning Prayer during the Venite. Beauty matters! It forms us, shapes us, and orients us to the good. For this reason, we are very excited to have hung up a new art piece produced by our very own Joan Smith who serves as our Senior Warden. For those who may be aware, Joan is an expert craftswoman who has made awe-inspiring vestments that Fr. Wesley and Fr. David wear regularly!
This piece features the 12 shields of the Apostles. Most of the instruments in the shield are references to the instruments of that particular Apostle’s martyrdom. The booklet next to the piece features more information about each Apostle.
Fr. Wesley will be blessing this piece this coming Sunday at Coffee Hour after the 11a service.
