Adult Formation
Being formed into the image and likeness of Christ, is not something that stops with graduation from high school. It is a life-long journey. During our program year from September through May, we offer a range of opportunities for adults at 10am on Sunday mornings and during the week.

DAY OF RECONCILIATION
Wednesday, March 29
4 - 8 p.m. by Appointment
The sacramental rite, Reconciliation of a Penitent (BCP p. 447), will be offered on Wednesday, March 29. The rite creates space to confess to God, in the presence of a priest, the ways we miss the mark and receive the assurance of pardon and the grace of absolution. Clergy will meet you at the altar rail in the sanctuary to hear your confession and offer forgiveness on behalf of the church. Preparation sheets will be available ahead of time.
Please email Rev. Serena to make an appointment at ssides@stbs.net.

Theology on Tap
THEOLOGY ON TAP — THURS., FEB. 9, 6:30 p.m.
Stop!… In the Name of Love with Morgan Wills
Theology on Tap returns Thursday, February 9 from 6:30–8:30 p.m with our own Morgan Wills discussing a theology of rest. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a widespread re-assessment of work in America, with many of us rethinking our approach to work and lifestyle choices. And yet we may wonder: how do we do so faithfully in the modern world? Is there a practical resource or biblical lens to guide us?
Come enjoy a drink and discussion around the idea of rest entitled:
Stop!… In the Name of Love: Receiving and Weaving the Gift of Sabbath into our Lives. An internal medicine physician and the CEO of Siloam Health, a faith-based nonprofit ministry to the medically underserved, Morgan Wills enjoys both work and naps—and found support for both while pursuing a Master's in Marketplace Theology from Regent College, Vancouver.

Women's Bible Study
Thursdays, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.
The Thursday morning women’s Bible study is a multi-generational gathering for fellowship, prayer, studying God’s Word, and walking through life together. It is open to all women of any walk of life and at any point of the faith journey and meets Thursdays from 9:30-11:30 in Wallace Hall.
This year we’ll be returning to the Old Testament with Sandra Richter’s The Epic of Eden (the video study guide). We started this study in 2019 but didn’t finish due to Covid. We’ll dive into the time period, geography, and culture of Old Testament stories to trace their part of a larger pattern. It’s a meaty study to help us grasp the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Old Testament and how it relates to God’s activity in the present.
Contact Gretchen Abernathy (gretchen.abernathy@gmail.com) for more information and for childcare.
Life Groups
Life groups are committed,
intentional micro-communities exploring
God in our lives. We believe that life groups allow us to be more deeply
connected to God and each other.
We seek to create inter-generational groups,
with a good mix of ages and experiences with church and matters of faith. Groups meet for 1.5 hours each week for 8 weeks, with an option to continue, and you need to be able to make at least 6 of the 8 sessions. New groups are on pause during our rector transition.
