We've got a hodgepodge of Adult Pastorates lined up for this fall—four different small groups each covering a unique and separate topic of study. The groups will meet every other Wednesday evening in different homes for five meetings beginning on September 3 from 6:00 to 8:00. As always, we will offer a Children's Pastorate here at the church on the same days from 5:45 to 8:15. You can sign up for a Pastorate on Sunday mornings or by emailing Fr. Wes Gristy. Here are the four Pastorates:

Breathing Room
Facilitators: Lou and Marty Courcelle
Hosts: Rusty and Charleyn Reviere
452 McClellan Road
Everybody’s busy—but does that mean we have to be slaves to our schedules and the expectations of others? Is there another way? This Pastorate is based on a video series by Andy Stanley geared toward helping us create breathing room in the areas of our schedules, our finances, and our relationships. A fifteen-minute video will serve to launch the group’s discussion each week as we seek to become better stewards of our lives for the kingdom of God.

The Epistle to the Philippians
Facilitators: Gary and Celecia Osborne
Hosts: Billy and Sally Slack
151 Oakmont Place
This Pastorate is a practical study of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Fr. Wes will be doing a preaching series on Philippians during the latter part of September and into October. This is a great opportunity to grow in your knowledge of an inspired book of the Bible with the combination of preaching and teaching. You are invited to increase your spiritual walk and learn why this biblical book is called the epistle of joy. The goal will be how to integrate this same joy into our lives in today’s world.

Inquirers' Pastorate
Facilitators: Fr. Wes and Abbie Gristy
Hosts: David and Nancy Thomas
70 Wellington Drive
This Pastorate is designed to assist those who are considering the Anglican tradition by exploring Anglican history, theology, and church practice. And for those who chose, the material prepares one to receive confirmation when our bishop comes to All Saints on Sunday, November 9. Confirmed Anglicans who desire a refresher in our tradition are also encouraged to attend.
