Sunday School

We currently have two atria (classrooms) of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd; one for three-through six-year olds and the other for ages seven through eleven. The program focuses on the parables of Christ and "Christian-formation"―how and why we use various gestures, prayers, and materials in worship. In addition to Sunday School, the children also prepare and present the annual Christmas Pageant on Christmas Eve.

Though we do not currently offer a Sunday morning class for middle and high school age youth, options available for them include Youth Group, Inquirers' and Confirmation classes, Acolytes, and diocesan programs such as Church Camp, Beginnings, Happening and Work Week.

Youth Group

The Youth Group promotes friendships through social activities, provides service to the church through special projects, provides service to the community through outreach, and learns more about the Christian faith through discovery and study.

Youth Group is open to those in sixth grade through high school, and new members are always welcome. Most meetings begin with a meal followed by an activity and end with the reading of Compline in the church. The group's activities are selected by members, and everyone takes a turn leading Compline.

Parents and other parishioners provide assistance by making meals, chaperoning, providing transportation, and generously supporting the activities financially. Thank you to all!

Adult Education

The primary focus of Adult Christian Education is the weekly meeting of the Adult Forum, a series of programs in the spring and fall, roughly corresponding with the school year.

In February, we plan to continue discussing the lectionary readings appointed for each Sunday. Please join us as we examine the readings in some depth and talk about what the readings may be saying to us today. Also, watch the bulletin announcements for other topics or special presentations in February. We welcome your thoughts and ideas about possible topics in the future.

Parish Bookstall

The Bookstall offers books targeted toward Episcopal and Anglican topics, religious jewelry, greeting cards, and Advent calendars seasonally. There are also a variety of items bearing the Episcopal shield including T-shirts, flip-flops, bags and checkbook covers. If you are interested in joining this enterprise, contact Lori Dobrik or Bill MacDonald.

Lucy A. Keck Memorial Library

Visit the Keck Library if you would like to browse, borrow books, or sit peacefully in a quiet and comforting place. New acquisitions are featured in the Messenger. The Library thanks everyone who has donated books or used the library.
