Other sessions to be scheduled in the months to come include: A Journey of Faith with a focus on
understanding the basics of Christianity not only what we believe, but why we believe and how we
enter the community of faith through Baptism. You will have an opportunity to reflect on your own
spiritual journey, the Great Commandment and the Great Commission, the Creeds and the Baptismal
Covenant. We will continue with A Path to Spiritual Maturity and will focus on a rule of life and explaining
how our faith is a living, growing part of us that changes through our experiences. We will explore our
Spiritual Gifts, gaining a perspective for how God wants us to live our lives looking at our God-given
talents, our personality and our experiences. We will reflect on how to use our gifts for ministry. Finally, we
will study the Great Commission Focus: learning how we reach others with Gods good news.
Participants will experience a variety of exercises designed to help recognize, approach and
communicate with those seeking a closer relationship with God. We will address questions such as What
is Mission? How do we spread the Good News? What is my Lifes Mission?
(continued on page 2)
The program consists of five courses that will be offered throughout the year. I invite you to join us for the
first session on Wednesday, September 23 at 7:00 PM.
Yours in Christ,

As Christians, we endeavor to
return these gifts to the Glory of
God. Because we are each unique,
so are our talents unique. There are
many areas in which to return our
gifts to God. Some are Altar Guild
work, Artistic as well as house
painting, Chalice bearer, Cooking
and baking, Cleaning and polishing,
Composing letters, messages or
music, Driving fellow parishioners to
services, Leadership, Organizing a
library, Participation in church
services such as Playing music,
Praying, Reading, or Singing, Also,
Using a computer, Visiting the shutins, Serving on the vestry or other
volunteer capacities.
Most of us are aware of what our
talents are and our limitations, but
since God moves in mysterious ways,
