Spiritual Development & Other Study Groups
Bible Study
We have Bible studies with fluid attendance on Wednesdays from late September into June Typically we meet at the home of a parishioner from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
These Bible Studies are designed to help us understand scripture more fully and apply it to our daily lives. All are welcome and previous knowledge is not necessary.
Wednesday Evening Adult Formation
This lively dinner and discussion gathering welcoming all who would like to explore the meaning of Holy Scripture to us today, and other topics of spiritual and daily life. We meet between September and June at the home of a parishioner. Please see service leaflets and Thursday emails for further details or contact stbarnabas@optonline.net.
Ladies' Night Out
This group was formed to accommodate the schedules of working women though all women are welcome and attend. We share a meal, enjoy fellowship, and have a discussion on a previously determined topic that relates to our spiritual lives. For the last year or so we have been choosing books to read as a group. The discussion has been based on the book but is approached in a way that includes those who have not read it.
Sunday Afternoon Adult Education
These sessions (4pm-5pm), conducted peridocally by clergy or lay volunteers, cover a wide spectrum of topics and media from books to articles and even movies.
There is often a brief and highly readable book available at the first session to help guide us on our adventures. Other Sunday afternoon sessions are offered during special seasons of the church year.
Adult Forum Series
A new series will begin in September 2011. Sessions will be held after the 10:00 a.m. service.
Breakfast Discussion Group
This group often meets on Tuesday for an early breakfast and fellowship. Discussion within a Christian context focuses on a contemporary event or issue that is of interest to members of the group.
Retreats
We offer retreats at St. Barnabas at least once a year at various in-state and out-of-state locations.
