Other Adult Education Opportunities at Christ Church
Bible Study: Bible study is offered on a periodic basis--usually seasonally. The topics vary from biblical critical studies to inspirational readings, encompassing sections of scripture such as the Gospels, Epistles or Old Testament stories. An overall review of the Bible is offered each spring in our annual Inquirers' course, offered by the rector, for those seeking confirmation in the Episcopal church or anyone who wishes to examine or Judeo/Christian heritage. Please contact Dr. Hague at 301-942-4673 (the church office).
Spiritual Development: Preparation for Baptism, Communion, and Spiritual Development: In addition to Chapel and Sunday School, instruction is always available about the Sacraments of the Church, Baptism for children over the age of three, for all children before they receive communion, and for adult spiritual development. Adult and children "inquirers" courses are held annually in the post-Christmas/Spring term in preparation for confirmation, reception, and reaffirmation of Baptismal vows. Contact: Mother Gerbasi at 301-942-4673 (the church office).
Inquirer's Course & Confirmation: Adult and children's "Inquirers" courses are held annually in the post Christmas/Spring term in preparation for confirmation, reception, and reaffirmation of Baptismal vows. The adult series is open to all people who would like a "refresher" course on our Christian faith.
Centering Prayer is contemplative prayer grounded in the principle of the Divine Indwelling, which holds that the Trinity is present in each of us and is the source and sustenance of our being on every level. Centering prayer is a simple method of praying where we are essentially "consenting to God's presence and action within." The method is easily described to newcomers and over time its effects become increasingly powerful. It can be practiced alone or with a group. The Christ Church Centering Prayer group meets on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Rector's study.
