Adult Formation, Bible Study, and Fellowship

---

We human beings are created to be in relationship. We believe that God wants a relationship with each and every one of us. That connection to God is nurtured through prayer, worship, formation, Bible study, and fellowship. St. Christopher's offers opportunities to grow in relationship to God, to each other, and ourselves by connecting with others. You need not be a member of St. Christopher's to participate in these opportunities for learning and growth.

Adult Formation in a Time of Social Distancing

This time has called all of us to stop and re-assess what needs to be done and what we can offer our community at this time.  At St. Christopher's, we are shifting some of our fellowship, formation, and worship online so that we can stay connected and pray together.   We are using Zoom for formation and fellowship.  If you are not familiar with Zoom, check out this video tutorial for using Zoom on your phone and this tutorial for using it on your laptop.  

Thursday Evenings in Lent
6:30 p.m.  | Formation for Children and Families with Rev. Chana - Making Space in our lives for God.  We are doing this via Zoom so it can be interactive and the kids can see each other.  Go to Zoom meeting and enter meeting ID: 875-767-3233

6:30 p.m. | This I Believe Adult Formation: This I Believe  - Reflection and conversation in this group led by Rev. Cara will use NPR’s radio series, This I Believe, to explore life lessons.  We are hoping our tech this week will allow us all to listen or read the essay for discussion.
