Adult Formation
Adult Formation is rooted in the vows of our Baptismal Covenant, which encourages us to grow in Christ at every age and in all aspects of our lives.
Register for the Women’s Retreat
The retreat will be held April 13-15 at the Trinity Center at Pine Knolls Shores. Give yourself or a friend an early Christmas gift and register now. Space is limited so we will not be offering single rooms at this time but participants are welcome to stay off site (the Atlantis Lodge is very nearby) and enjoy meals and programs with the group. The Commuter charge is $75. Double rooms at the Trinity Center are $205 (all meals, lodging and programs included); triples are $185. We are delighted that the Rev. Elizabeth Marie Melchionna will join us as we discuss “Joy” with wisdom from the Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama. Questions can be directed to Boykin or Planning Committee Chair Mary Stowe (mary@yarnsetc.com).
Adult Inquirers’ Class
The Adult Inquirers’ Class, an important part of our overall adult education in this parish, includes both Sunday morning teaching and monthly small groups on Sunday evenings. This series of classes taught by the rector and others on the Episcopal approach to the basics of Christianity is required of adults seeking confirmation and open to anyone who would like a refresher course.
