Holy Innocents’ program for adults changes seasonally. Classes addresses contemporary issues, spiritual issues, and liturgical issues. Other, smaller, classes include a variety of topics that change seasonally – from politics, to Bible study, to literature, to health issues.
Sunday Formation Classes
Rectors Forum 9/12-1017
Hosts: Michael Sullivan Two chapters. Fifty six verses. That’s it. The creation saga. How do we read these two simple accounts of God’s action in the world? What do they mean today? How do they intersect with your life at the office, home, or in church? Join us for simple, straightforward introductions to the themes of the creation accounts, small group discussion led by table facilitators, and opportunities for reflection on God’s continuing creation today.
Additional Weekday Offerings
Womens’ Bible Reflection
Thursday mornings at 9
Each and every Thursday, women of all ages gather in the youth pavilion. Using lectio divina or holy reading we spend time listening to what God's Spirit is saying to God's people in and through the scripture, generally the Gospel for the next Sunday and through each other. Insightful, spirited and honest discussions are part of the delicious fare as well as just plain good company. Come on in we’d love to have you. Contact Alison Schultz for more information.
Gospel Talk
Wednesday Mornings at 6:38
Every early Wednesday morning a community of seekers gathers with one of our priests in the Conference Room for coffee, friendship, and an exploration of the gospel reading for the following Sunday. We join the 7:30 Eucharist in the chapel and often breakfast together. It is a great way to begin your day and get some spiritual midweek refreshment. If you are looking for community and faith conversation partners, please come. Contact Anita Pirkle or Martha Sterne for more information.
Women's Wisdom Circle
Mondays from 8:30-9:45
Come to HI and start your week with good coffee and authentic , in depth conversation with each other and with the sayings of Wise Women throughout the ages. Anne Moore and Martha Sterne invite you to share the questions, challenges, and thanksgiving of our lives. Call Martha (404-255-4023) or Anne (404-277-7992) with any questions and to let us know you are interested. The Wisdom Circle is open so bring a friend.
Education for Ministry
Wednesday Evenings
EFM is a program for lay people designed by the School of Theology at Sewanee. A new group at Holy Innocents’ forms every fall and meets weekly on Wednesday evenings throughout the academic year. More than a Bible study, EFM provides two years of guided reading of the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament followed by a year of church history and a year of systematic theology. EFM provides a safe, small group in which to engage others in theological reflection. There is no pre-requisite for joining EFM beyond a desire to inform your faith. Please contact one of the mentors for more information: Ursula Simmons (770-992-1308) or John Donnelly (770-980-0621).
