Inquirers' Class
Are you new to the church? Attending for a while but haven't been baptized, confirmed, or become officially an Episcopalian? Is your 6th grade Sunday School knowledge of faith and church not keeping up with your life as an adult? Do you have more questions than answers? The Inquirer's Class may be for you!
The Inquirers' Class is an opportunity to explore questions about our faith and learn more about the Episcopal Church. It is also the preparation for being baptized as an adult, confirmed, or received into the Episcopal Church. It is a time for growing individually and as members of our parish. We will meet from February 1 through April 26, on Sundays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. Childcare can be arranged, if needed. Please speak to our rector, Maria Tjeltveit if you want to inquire about the class, at 610-434-0155, or revmariat@verizon.net.
