Adults
Grow in Faith
Grace and St. Stephen’s offers broadly diverse ways to explore and examine what it means to live in faith. Bringing together a wide variety of intellectual, academic and theological backgrounds, we discuss, debate and discern our perceptions and beliefs—stretching and growing closer to God and one another as we share.
No registration required, nor advanced preparation or materials are needed to participate. All are welcome to join in the discussion.

We’ll be basing our conversations [not a class!] on this reading selection as we meet on the second and fourth Wednesdays at noon from February through May. Our bi-weekly discussion will be followed by the service of noonday prayer, which includes a period of silent meditation.
