Adult Formation 

After the 10:00 service, we hold lectures and discussions on a variety of topics in our Parish Hall, accompanied by mid-morning snacks and good coffee.

Upcoming Lectures: Lent 2025

Lent 2025 Adult Forum: Entertaining Angels Unawares-The Spirit of Hospitality
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. - Hebrews 13:2

The Christian season of Lent is a time set aside for self-examination, prayer, and the study of Scripture in community and individually. For four weeks, you are invited to engage these spiritual practices with your church community. The Rev. Wes Smedley, Interim Rector, and SPR parishioners will facilitate conversation. You are also invited to join one of the small groups led by SPR parishioners which will meet in person or by Zoom on different days of the week for four weeks.

The focus of this year’s Lent forum is the spirit of hospitality in Scripture, tradition, spirituality/theology, and practice. By the final session, you will have created your own “ethic of hospitality.” If you have any questions, please reach out to the church office or to the Interim Rector.

Groups will meet as follows:

Sundays 3/9, 3/16, 3/23, 3/30: Wes Smedley facilitates at SPR at 9am & 11:15am (St. Cecilia Room downstairs)

Mondays 3/10, 3/17, 3/24/, 3/31: Fred Donner facilitates at Fred’s home at 7pm (contact church office for address)

Tuesdays 3/11, 3/18, 3/25, 4/1: Nathan Petrie & Morgan Kincade at SPR at 6pm

Tuesdays 3/11, 3/18, 4/1, 4/8: Romonda McKinney & Amanda Ruch at 7:30pm at “Jimmy’s” (Woodlawn Tavern)
