 Sunday Mornings     
Sundays, at 9:00 and 10:15, classes meet and discuss Biblical and/or topics relevant to the Christian life.  The teachers are usually one of the clergy, or occasionally someone else knowledgeable in a subject will teach a series of lessons.  Whatever the class, there's always time for interaction and discussion.

 Daughters of the King     
Women who have or want to have a life of prayer and service are welcome to join the Daughters of the King.  Women in this group comit their lives, assisting the clergy and the parish with prayer, visitation, making prayer shawls, sharing food with outside needy groups such as the Hope Mobile, and other projects that come up.  The Daughters meet once a month.

 Education for Ministry     
Education for Ministry, usually referred to as EfM, meets once a week for four years to study the Old and New Testaments, Church History and Church Doctrine.  The purpose for these classes is for each person to discover more about his or her relationship to God and to the Christian community.  Discussion is lively.  There is a charge for these classes which meet for 36 weeks.  Registration is required; commitment is for one year at a time.

For more information, contact Dale at the church office, 252-1744, or check out the EfM website.

 FunShops/WorkShops     
From time to time during the year, FunShops and Workshops are offered.  These are often seasonal and family oriented, such as Anglican Prayer Beads, Advent Wreaths, Prayer Retreat.  The FunShops and Workshops are described in the Sunday bulletin, The Shepherd's Voice, and in the catalog of Christian Education offerings for the Fall and Spring seasons.

 Ladies' Bible Study     
Once a week for an hour, ladies meet to study the Bible and its meaning for them.  Normally, one book of the Bible is chosen for study, and then another after it has been covered over a number of weeks.  Occasionally, a meaningful book is chosen for discusson.  Discussions are lively, personal and relevant.

 Noon Eucharist and Healing     
At 12:05 on Wednesdays, all are welcome, regular Sunday attendees or not, at the Holy Eucharist and Healing service.  Prayers are offered for any of those in need of a healing prayer for themselves or for others.  Enter the church through the Bell Court entrance and then inquire at the parish office for the location of the service.

 Weekday Programs     
Offerings on Wednesday evenings are scheduled at different times throughout the school year.  Seasonal themes or other topics of interest - a recent class was on evil and the justice of God - are announced in the Sunday bulletins, in The Shepherd's Voice, and in the printed schedule of classes for the spring and fall sessions.

 Young Adults     
There's a class for those who have completed J2A, which includes service and fun activities.  In summer a college class will be held at 11 a.m.
