Adult Formation at St. Paul's
Contact: The Rev. Richard H. Winters, Rector
Adult Formation
Adults can choose from two thought-provoking "back to the basics" classes. Both meet from 10:15-11:00 a.m. in the Parish Center. A great thing about our Sunday schedule is that you can worship first (9:00 a.m. service) and then attend formation, or attend formation and then worship (11:15 a.m. service).

• Video Visions in Conference Room I
This ever-popular offering, which has the class watch a 25 minute video followed by a facilitated discussion, will begin with a series called "A Place to Pray: Conversations on the Lord's Prayer," featuring Dr. Roberta Bondi of the Candler School of Theology at Emory University.
A team of facilitators is taking the place of the able Frances Barrow, who has retired as facilitator: Richard Griffith (who will facilitate this series), Ted Randall and Linda Smith.
