Christian education doesn’t end with confirmation. In fact with our confirmation we promise anew to continue in the apostles’ teaching. This means that as adults we continue on the life-long process of formation begun in our baptism.
St. Mark’s takes adult formation seriously and offers a variety of ways to continue our Christian education throughout the year.
Adult Formation takes place at various times. Signing up is helpful but not necessary.
If a book is required and you need help getting it please indicate that when you sign up.
If you have any questions about adult formation – or any suggestions for future programs – please speak with the rector.

This collection of essays explores each line of the Lord’s Prayer and provides insight into how we, like the disciples, may be bold to say and live into these words of petition and praise.”
