We explore a variety of topics, including individual books of the Bible, the history and traditions of our faith, and how our faith intersects with issues in daily life.
Time commitment: weekly, 10 a.m. in the Chapel, Sep. through May
This class is intended for people who are new to St. Mark’s or new to the Episcopal Church, it's a great place to ask questions and get to know each other better. We’ll talk about the history of St. Mark’s, the traditions of the Episcopal Church, and ways you can get involved.
time commitment: this class meets three consecutive weeks twice a year in the conference room during the 10 a.m. formation time.
The “Being With” courseis for those who may not feel entirely comfortable in church but are interested in exploring big questions of meaning, God, life, and death with others who are curious. It's for those finding their way around a new kind of faith that feels different from how they grew up. This course puts conversation first and seeks to create a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these questions together.
These courses are high-commitment. They are ten sessions, and each session is 90 minutes long. Participants are asked to do what they can to avoid missing sessions, as their absence costs the rest of the group.
These courses begin online, via Zoom. Courses will have the option to switch to in-person for the last 3 or 4 weeks of the course. Each group will decide on its own.
time commitment: Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Zoom.
