Christian Formation & Community
Christian Formation Classes and the Adult Forum resume on Sunday, September 12, at 10:00 a.m. in the nave. Everyone is invited to attend a brief service, including a back to school blessing for children and teachers. Afterwards, the children and youth meet in their class rooms, and adults meet with Father Erdman in Parker Hall for coffee and conversation. Remember to bring a side dish and plan to stay for the Calvary Parish Picnic from noon to 1:30 p.m. Plan to register for classes, meet the faculty, and learn about the programs and events that are offered this fall. Classes are for all ages:
- Nursery: Newborn to 3
- Preschool: 4-5
- Primary: 1st-3rd grades
- Intermediate: 4th-5th grades
- Jr. High: 6th - 8th
- Sr. High: 9th-12th
The second part of a series from last fall will be presented by Tessa Long on Hildegard of Bingen on the last two Sundays of September. In October, Father Erdman will present a four-part series on C. S. Lewis’ book The Great Divorce.
