    10:15-11:00 AM



    Lectionary-Based Classes:

    In Year B of the Lectionary, the study for the Adult Sunday School includes readings from Matthew, Mark and John, depending on a particular Sunday. The gospel Scripture takes us from John the Baptist preparing the way for Christ through a synopsis of Jesus' ministry in Galilee. I invite you to join us as we commit to a spiritual practice that will transform our entire Parish and our lives.
