Growing in Faith as Adults

Faith Formation Series

Throughout the year, we gather in the lounge to reflect together on some aspect of our faith, spirituality and what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. We use a resource to guide our conversations. There are no right or wrong answers; the experience is in the room; everyone contributes as much as they feel comfortable doing. Together, we learn with and from each other.

We reflect on a biblical passage related to the theme of our evening; discuss questions in small groups; and share together our thoughts and questions. We conclude each evening with a time of prayer.

We have been using the “Pilgrim Series” from the Church of England. Topics we have studied together include

• “Turning to Christ” and the living out of our baptismal covenant
• the Beatitudes
• The Eucharist

During Covid we joined with other churches in our area to offer Zoom series including “God and the Pandemic” and “Be Anxious For Nothing”.

We have gathered twice a month in person. We began by reflecting on the lectionary readings and have also reflected on “Women of the Bible” and throughout Lent and Easter 2023 we reflected on the relevant sections of Handel’s Messiah.
