Scripture study offered on Sunday mornings during Lent 2012
Come and join us on Sunday mornings during Lent in this scripture study of the texts for the following Wednesday. Led by Sandy Cristan these sessions will introduce you to the text for the upcoming week. The Sunday morning study and Wednesday evening studies will provide different perspectives on the same text. This is an opportunity to learn some of the richness of our texts through different voices and different perspectives. Sunday, Feb. 19-March 25, 9:45–10:45 a.m. in the Bridal Chapel.

Ongoing opportunities

There are many scheduled opportunities for Adult Learning. Some of them are listed below and on the menu bar to the right. All classes are open to everyone with a desire to grow in knowledge and connect with others at St. Matthew’s.

The groups assemble under a wide range: sessions for lively and informative discussions on topics which include the Bible, personal growth and social issues. Each class emphasizes caring for the Fellowship of all believers.
