Adult Sunday School | 1 and 2 Samuel

  • St. Peter's Cathedral (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Led By Fr. Jonathan Kanary

Adult Sunday School will continue its journey through the Bible by completing I Samuel and beginning 2 Samuel.  These two pivotal books recount Israel’s transition from a tribal confederacy to a monarchy, the troubled reign of its first king, Saul, and the rise of David as Israel’s archetypal king.  2 Samuel chronicles the reign of David and culminates with the rebellion of his son Absolom.  These two books deal with important theological themes such as the proper ordering of God’s people, the covenant, how God works in history and through people, the vocation of the covenant people, and the working of God among sinful people.

Wednesday Nights | The Glory of God

  • St. Peter's Cathedral (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Led by Ben Munroe

Modern Christianity is too often guilty of rushing past the law to get to grace.  While the law was given, in part, to reveal God’s holy nature and sovereignty and to reveal how disastrously short men and woman fall from God’s holiness, we now tend to avoid this.  Fear of offending modern people (and ourselves), however, leads to something far worse which is offending God.  A small view of God results in a small view of grace and a small view of grace is fatal to the Chrisitan life.  We are called to seek God’s face, the very face we cannot bear to see and still live as sinners.  Our God is a “consuming fire” and only as we begin to understand this will we begin to understand the magnitude of grace.

Wednesday Nights | The Value of Work in Christ

  • St. Peter's Cathedral (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Led by Cliff Neilson & Steve Gordon

As Christians, we are called to serve God in every aspect of our lives.  Does this include work?  Does work have a value to God or is it just a means to an end (paying the bills)?  Is “church work” the only way to serve God or is “secular work” pleasing to Him as well?  Is your job a vocation?  Does our culture view work in the right way?  You are invited to join in a discussion of these important questions and to discover what God says about work and vocation and why these are important to God’s Kingdom.  We will use Tim Keller’s Every Good Endeavor as a guide but will also draw on C. S. Lewis, Dorothy Sayers and other Christian writers.

Prayer Book 101 - Fr. Michael Petty

What is that red book in the pews and how do I use it? Prayer Book 101 answers this question! Anglican worship is worship “by the book,” The Book of Common Prayer, 2019. Prayer Book 101 is designed to help you understand and use the Book of Common Prayer in both public and private settings. We will begin by looking at the origins of the Prayer Book tradition in 1549 and then spend some time with the Daily Office (Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer). After considering Anglican sacramental theology, we will walk through the two liturgies for the Eucharist. The class will also consider the sacraments of Holy Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Matrimony, the Reconciliation of a Penitent, and Ministry to the Sick. We will also take a look at the collects and Scripture readings for Sunday and the liturgy for the Burial of the Dead. The class will conclude with an examination of the Church’s calendar of liturgical seasons and feast days.
