Ladies’ Thursday Bible Study

This lively group of the ladies of the parish meets on Thursday mornings during the fall and spring from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for prayer, study, and reflection. The approach combines learning about ancient cultures, history, and theology, and listening to what God is saying to us now. Reading and discussing together, women deepen their knowledge and faith, share their own journeys, and support one another in Christ. The group is facilitated by a lay leader who completed the EFM (Education for Ministry) program offered by the Sewanee School of Theology. She also is a student of New Testament Greek.

Our fall 2026 Ladies’ Bible Study, Stories in Exile (Part 1), will meet from September 3rd through December 10th. We are studying the Bible stories of those who experienced exile, exploring the meaning of—and solution for—exile.

“Our lives east of Eden are marked by exile, and we need to return and reconnect.” —Marcus Borg, Reading the Bible Again for the First Time

Theology on Tap

Faith and Fellowship meet outside the church walls! Join us at Auberge Restaurant and Bar on Main Street on the last Wednesday of every month. We meet at 7:00 pm for food and conversation around topics of faith.

The next meeting of Theology on Tap will be Wednesday, September 30th.

Ladies’ Book Club

All ladies of the church are invited to a summer and winter Book Club. This group meets on Thursdays from 10:00 am to 11:30 am when Bible Study is not in session. Recent reads include Julian of Norwich: The Showings, translated by Mirabai Starr, and Aging Faithfully: The Holy Invitation of Growing Older by Alice Fryling.

Preparatory Classes

We provide classes for inquirers (those wishing to be baptized, confirmed or received) and for the incorporation of new members into the Episcopal Church. Note that membership in the parish requires baptism, attendance, and support, but not prior Confirmation or Reception.

Preparation classes are usually offered prior to the Bishop’s visitation, when she will offer Confirmation, Reception, and Reaffirmation, or prior to a Diocesan Regional Confirmation. These classes will be open to all people who are interested in growing their faith, exploring their call to Christian Ministry, and in responding to the work of the Holy Spirit! If you are interested or would like to learn more, please contact the church office.
