FORUM SERIES:.

Adult Forum continues a 10-week study of The 10 Commandments. Join us in the parish hall at 9:15 a.m.

In this series you will discover why The Ten Commandments are so potent, how they cut through the maze of contemporary "psychobabble", how they get to the center of issues of the heart, and how they afect the way we live. The series shows them not as represseive but as a charter for liberty in a way that uniquely communicates, through firsthand experience and testimony in each program, of how to be released from servitude.

NOTE: Looking for an opportunity to serve? We are seeking interested individuals to lead the Forum so we may hear many different voices. Contact the parish office at 708-246-0030 if you are interested in leading a session.

J2A (Journey to Adulthood)


J2A is the heart of the program and follows Rite 13. After two years in Rite-13, young people move into the core program: Journey to Adulthood. In J2A leaders blend action and contemplation in teaching young people. The goals are simple; the task is complex and demanding. Young adults are given an opportunity to be confirmed. They are recognized as young adults, rather than children, and invited to make a holy pilgrimage.

YAC (Young Adults in the Church)

Young Adults in the Church encourages older youth to take on adult responsibilities in all aspects of parish life. Guided by adult advisors, they use the Anglican model of Scripture, reason, and tradition of the Church to guide the lifelong pilgrimage in their faith.
