Christian Formation
Fr. Sam will lead a weekly one-hour Zoom book study of this latest book by Parker Palmer, a Quaker elder. Through prose, poetry and song, Parker meditates on the meanings of life, past, present, and future, for those who want to age reflectively, seeking new insights and life-giving ways to engage the world. Other writers lending their endorsements include: Krista Tippet of On Being Studios; Richard Rohr of Contemplation and Action; and Brian McLaren, a current commentator on contemporary Christianity. Please contact the church office (828.295.7323 or office@stmaryofthehills.org) if you are interested.
Reading Between the Lines
Reading Between The Lines (formerly BibleWorkbench) is a lectionary based life-centered biblical resource designed for small group formation in church and home. We are planning to offer the class in a Zoom meeting on Fridays - 9:30 – 10:30am from May 22nd – July 17th. No need to commit forever! Just say 'yes' for one session at a time. This class is being offered to parishioners at St. John’s Cathedral, Jacksonville, FL and St. Mary of the Hills, Blowing Rock, NC.
A limited number of spaces are available. If you are interested in learning more or signing up for the first class, contact Owene Courtney (owene_courtney@yahoo.com).
