Adults
Adult education is formed by the desire to:
- Expand our knowledge about the scriptures and Anglican tradition
- Engage in theological reflection and discussion, drawing connection between what we read and what we live
- Deepen our relationship with God and one another
- Dialogue with other faith traditions
- Understand our call to servant leadership
2024 - 2025 Programs include:
Small group opportunities to learn and share
St. Mark's Reads led by our Justice & Advocacy Team
Catch up with our current title - Social Justice for the Sensitive Soul: How to Change the World in Quiet Ways.
We'll be meeting for a souper and discussion in early January or late February 2025

Prophetic Faith
A third cohort is forming for the 2025 calendar year. We use the curriculum as outlined in Trish Reeves book, Prophetic Faith which helps us as a congregation identify where we are in justice ministry and move as we are called and led by the Holy Spirit to greater involvement in the issues of our day. Led by Karen Hardison and Penny Adams. Meets 2nd and 4th Sundays beginning in the new year
Interbeing - on hold for the 2024 -2025 program year
