Adult Education

Adult Education at St. Stephen’s is a welcoming forum for thoughtful spiritual exploration. Programs are in spring and fall seasons, usually meeting on Sundays at 9:00am in the Upper Meeting Room (with refreshments and fellowship beginning at 8:45). Additional offerings are sometimes scheduled on weekdays or weeknights to accommodate a wider range of interests and availability. All are welcome to attend—parishioners and the broader community alike. For information or program suggestions, please contact Dan Beaupré, An Duclos, Theresa Gleason, or Diane Nancekivell.

When available, Zoom access is provided at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87490029176 with the passcode AdultEd

Jesus in his Own Words

with Henry R. Carse

The Meeting Room

Participants in former sessions received a handout entitled "Tracing Gospel Midrash Workshop." If you do not have this, email Henry at hrcarse@hotmail.com). Before our next meeting, if you can, see if you can trace the threads that bind the scripture passages in each example. Use a diagram or sketch to illustrate how the integration of biblical verses creates a bigger picture. What is the message you see there?

Our session on May 22 will be a participatory gathering to share our discoveries and questions, and explore further texts together. If you are just joining us, you may wish to read this introductory essay.

Bring the Bible of your choice, plus pen and paper. If you have a biblical concordance, bring it along.

‍ ‍Refreshments will be served.

What’s coming this Fall?

March 22 marks the end of our Adult Ed season. We will resume our programs this September. We sure did enjoy a full and varied batch of programs with lively discussions.

We welcome your ideas and thoughts about topics you’d like to see offered. Please reach out to the Adult Ed team (Diane, Dan, Theresa, An). This past year of programs was made richer by your participation.
