Christian Education at St Mark’s

St. Mark’s provides several opportunities to join your community in Christian Education and Fellowship:

This season our midweek program is Simply Being: Life as a Prayer on Wednesday evenings via Zoom. 

Standard sessions that we hold include, but are not limited to the following choices:

  • Adult Forum – to study specific topics in the Bible;
  • Prayer and Fellowship Zooms – to gather with your community to pray and talk about items related to our church life; and
  • Sunday School – which will resume for children when we can again gather in our buildings.


The Washington Diocese also provides two Zoom meetings per week for young Adults:

–

Adult Forum

Adult Forum – Sundays at 9:00 am – Now on Zoom!  We’re currently discussing various topics in the book of Genesis.  If you’d like to join us, please email office@stmarks-silverspring.org and we will add you to our email list to receive meeting information.

Prayer and Fellowship Zooms

In addition to the Adult Forum on Sunday mornings, our midweek program is Simply Being: Life as a Prayer on Wednesday evenings via Zoom.  Following the format of our Lenten program, Seven Eves, we will begin and end in prayer and have time for reflection and discussion, using as a guide Richard Rohr’s book, Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer. 

 
Please join us to learn how this celebrated ecumenical Franciscan helps us, in the words of one critic, “move beyond the comfort of a settled life” and become aware of how we are “rooted in [our] connection to God”
 
If you’d like to join us, please email office@stmarks-silverspring.org and we will add you to our email list to receive meeting information.
