Our primary adult formation offerings are our 10 a.m. Sunday Adult Forums and our Wednesday night Engage! offerings.
Sunday Adult Forums
Sunday mornings at 10 AM
Parish Hall and Zoom
Upcoming Sunday Forums:
“Give to the one who begs from you” – June 28 • 10 AM • Parish Hall and Zoom – Someone asks for money or help in public. Maybe that someone is a stranger, maybe that someone is known to you. Maybe that someone is you. What is help? How do you (personally) respond? Is there a best practice? What happens if there is spite, or cursing, or violence? Come participate in an honest, curious, and hopeful conversation about how to help our neighbors.
Summer break! – Stay tuned for pop-up forums this summer.

Parish house library and Zoom
Upcoming Engage! sessions:
Engage! The Idea of Sacrifice in Early Christian Tradition – Wednesdays: July 8, 15, 22 & 29 • 6:30 PM – What do Christians mean when we speak of sacrifice? Why has the idea of sacrifice played such a central role in Christian belief and worship? Join parishioner James Rives, professor of classics at UNC-Chapel Hill, for a four-week exploration of sacrifice in the ancient world and early Christianity. Together, we’ll examine sacrificial practices in Graeco-Roman and Jewish traditions, the role of sacrifice in the persecution of Christians, and how early Christians transformed the idea of sacrifice in their theology and worship. Attend any or all sessions. Download handouts: Overview | Session 1 | Session 2 | Session 3 | Session 4
