Online Worship: The Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost
Rector’s Forum
Youth and adults 6th grade and up gather at 9:15 every Sunday for fellowship, teaching, and conversation. This intergenerational opportunity allows us to learn from each other, since we each bring experience and expertise from our own stage of life.
Father Alan leads this class, which focuses on various topics throughout the year. Starting September 18 the topic will be “We Believe: Catechism at St. Martin’s.” We’ll look at the basics of our faith, everything from the Bible to the Book of Common Prayer, and everything in between. This will be an opportunity for everything to ask about things you’ve always wondered, reexamine why we’ve always done things, and look at our old traditions in new ways.
This class also serves as confirmation preparation for youth and adults.
