New to the church or feel like you could use a little refresher course on our Episcopal Church? Join us and discover these and other answers as to what we are truly all about in 2014. The Episcopal 101 class kicked off Wednesday with a in-depth and reflective discussion about baptism – what if looks like, feels like and what it means to us, in the Episcopal Church.  All Saints’ Parishioners from a variety of Christian backgrounds convene to deepen their individual faith journeys with Rev. Vicki‘s new adult formation class series: Episcopal 101 based on Jenifer Gamber’s Your Faith Your Life: An Invitation to the Episcopal Church. The group, which meets at 7:15 p.m. in the Parish House living room will meet for four more weeks. All are encouraged to join this transformative series on the following Wednesday evenings: October 1, 8, 15, and 22.  This series is perfect for anyone new to the church or anyone looking for a refresher course on our Episcopal Church!  We’ll discuss our traditions and what has changed over the years.  Books will be available in class or in the Church Office for $10.  We hope to see you at this fun and informative class!
