Christian Formation 2008

 

The Christian formation program consisted of a class series The Story of Abraham, in January, a Lenten class series on the Ten Commandments in February, and a Quiet Day for Lent in February. We tried something very different in Eastertide, with a series of films that we viewed and discussed. There was a parish retreat at Holy Cross Monastery, and there will be another this spring. We had a few rector’s forums on issues facing the parish and the whole church. For a small parish, we have an ambitious program and very good percentage of persons who attend the classes and other events.

This is perhaps a good, but not the only, place to recognize the achievements and contributions of the Reverend Richard Corney to the parish education. Having a seminary professor permanently in residence has meant that our education had a quality and depth not usually available in other places.
