Adult Formation with Dcn. Tracie Middleton - Parish Hall

"Navigating Tricky Conversations" - Sometimes conversations can be confusing or stressful to engage in when topics are tricky, or someone seems upset, or you just don't know what to say. During August, Deacon Tracie will be leading Christian formation and sharing some tips on active listening and empathy, and we'll try them out together. She'll also share some resources related to these strategies if you want to explore them more.

Beginning September 1

As part of our 150 anniversary projects, Dr. Dale Priest will be conducting a five-session series on John Milton’s epic poem, Paradise Lost. The class had been planned for Lent last year but had to be delayed. It is now scheduled for the five Sundays in September during the Christian formation hour between the morning services. Class times will be 9:15-10:05 a.m. in the Parish Hall at St. Mark’s, beginning on Sunday, September 1. A new, paperback edition of the poem will be provided at no cost. There will be no tests or reading assignments—just bring your book! Dr. Priest is a retired Lamar professor and a six-year member at St. Mark’s. You may email him directly with questions and to reserve a seat in the class: dale.priest@outlook.com
