CHRIST & SAINT STEPHEN’S offers an Adult Forum on Sunday mornings at 9:30, lasting an hour. The time is spent in learning, theological reflection, and building Christian community. You are welcome to come for any session of interest to you and when your schedule allows.

DURING THE SIX SUNDAYS after Easter, Sally Jones has been leading us in a conversation about congregational development using the Episcopal Church’s program, “Invite, Welcome, Connect.” We are dedicating two Sundays to each of the three topics. We are using the program’s tools, including checklists and questions, to focus our thoughts and discussions.

During the “Invite” discussion, we explored what we can do in an organized manner to invite new people to our church. In the “Welcome” discussion, which will continue this Sunday, we are exploring what we can do to welcome the stranger we find in our midst. And in the “Connect” discussion, we will explore what we can do to connect our newcomers into the ministry at CSS.

We all know from our interactions with the people around us that many are seeking a church home. They may not realize, however, that it is a church home they are seeking. Invite, Welcome, Connect will give us the tools to help them find us.

Note: Each Sunday program is self-contained. You can join in at any time without worrying about what went before. This Sunday we’ll review the results of our “Invite” questionnaire and share stories of how we found Christ & Saint Stephen’s.
