Fall Adult Formation Offerings
This fall, we will have more Adult Formation opportunities than we have had over the last few years. It is my hope that there will be something for everyone!
“I will not let you go, until you bless me”: A Reflection on Genesis 32:22–32
I pray that we will continue to recognize God in the midst of the struggle. I pray that we will continue to say with Jacob, “I will not let you go, until you bless me.”
The Importance of Community
If there is one thing that has become absolutely clear to me over the last several months, it is how much we need one another.
Prayer and Action in a Time of Pandemic and Revolution
We learn together, pray together, and work for justice together. Although we are physically separated right now, this work continues. I encourage you to spend time in prayer around what Jesus is calling you to do right now, and then find ways to turn that prayer into action.
Wandering in the Wilderness
My prayer is that we can use this time in the wilderness both as individuals and as a nation to clarify where our priorities are and who we want to be as people. Don’t just look backward with rosy glasses. Use this time of wandering in the wilderness to learn and grow so that when we enter the promised land, it will indeed be better than what we left behind.
The Lenten Fast that Nobody Wanted
As we live through this strange Lenten social fast that nobody wanted, I hope that we can spend some time with the disciples as they too struggle to adapt to a new normal. I hope that we can trust that “this too shall pass” and on the other side will be resurrection. It may not be on our desired timeline, but it will be. Please know that you all are in my prayers; please keep the clergy and staff of St. Peter’s in yours.
Exciting New Fellowship Opportunity for Lent
Although we are still at the beginning of Epiphany, the season of Lent will be here before we know it! During Lent, Christians typically choose to either give something up, or to take on a new spiritual practice. This year, at the invitation of the Diocese of North Carolina, we would like to offer you an option for a Lenten practice.
Winter & Spring Adult Formation at St. Peter’s
Christian formation is one of the most important things that we do as members of St. Peters. We are all familiar with our robust children and youth programs, but there are many exciting adult formation opportunities in the upcoming year!
Our Christian faith is strongest when it is lived out in community.
We are made for community, and our faith is strongest when it is lived out in community.
Adult Formation at St. Peter’s this Fall
