Youth Formation

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

For children preschool to grade 3, we offer the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. If you have any questions concerning this program, please see click on the link above (on the word Catechesis), speak with Ron Desmarais or Brenda Komarinski. You may also contact the church.

Exploring the Bible program

Lisa Kinser, who designed this program, is very excited to begin another year of this program. The children will be learning about the stories in the Old Testament of the Bible. Each class is divided into four sections. The pre-session, the perspective, the probe and the personalization. The goal of the pre-session is to draw students into the lesson by involving them in an activity. The perspective gives a background introduction to the subject for the day. The probe presents the Bible teaching in a creative and exciting way that brings the Bible event to life. And finally the personalization allows the student to understand how the lesson applies to their lives. This year we will continue using the points program. This is an incentive program that gives points to students for their participation in class activities. For further inquiries, please contact Lisa through the church or at LMKINSER@aol.com

Adult Formation

Adult Study groups are held during the day as well as evening. Study groups in the past have covered the following: Alpha program, Welcome to the Episcopal Church, reading and discussing the book, "The Purpose Driven Life", covering the Lectures of Karen Armstrong and an overview of world religions. Contact the church for current and upcoming study topics.
