EfM Open House

Thursday, September 2, 6:15pm

There are openings in the Education for Ministry (EFM) program and this event is for anyone who might be interested in participating. In EFM we relate our lives to the scriptures through sharing our stories, studying the Old and New Testaments, church history and contemporary theology. We learn theological reflection, share our personal stories and develop our personal theology.  We pray together and for each other. Often transforming lives, EFM is a cutting edge experience in adult Christian education in the Anglican Communion today. This year our group will meet on Thursday evenings beginning with a shared meal at 6:15 and ending around 9:00 PM, from September to June.
