Inquirer's Class - Wednesday Nights
I WILL WITH GOD’S Help!
Do you remember the joke about the bat-infested belfry of a Baptist church? The pastor called exterminators, without the results he wanted. He called on several other ministers to come and pray for them to leave, but the bats refused to go. The Roman Catholic priest tried exorcism without success. Finally, the local Episcopal priest appealed to the bishop for help. He came and confirmed the bats—and they were never seen again.
Some Episcopalians view Baptism / Confirmation as something like a permit or license that authorizes them to attend worship, receive Communion and to be placed on the annual Stewardship Campaign list. How sad that the promises we make in our Baptismal Covenant are soon forgotten because we limit our investigation into our tradition, theology, and practice.
Beginning on Wednesday evening (6 JAN, 2010) @ 6:30PM, Fr. Pierce will serve as the facilitator for the Adult Class as it takes on a slightly different approach: Revisiting Our Baptismal Covenant. During this six-week period the Inquirers will focus on the principles of the Episcopal understanding of Christian faith: The Nicene Creed, Anglican History and Tradition, Worship and Service. The focus on these fundamentals will be opening them to questions, comments, and stories of our experience and understanding. New life, energy, and joy are the goals that will lead us to fulfillment and meaning in our spiritual life with Christ as we serve the world in His name.
A thought: This is wonderful time to invite friends to a “quick peek” into the Episcopal Church.
Please sign up in the Hosea Hall. This will give us an idea of the many hundreds that will attend.

BIBLE STUDY AT 10:30
We are always open to new people coming to Bible Study, and you don't need to bring anything; just show up. We always have extra copies of our study so that anyone dropping in will feel welcome, and to also remind each of us that there will always be others who are not among us but who are counting on us to spread the good news of Christ to them.
Join us!
