This series of classes aims to provide participants with a better sense of what it means to be a Christian -- and to practice that faith within the Episcopal Church.

While one of the goals is the preparation of indiivduals for Confirmation and the related rites of Reaffirmation and Reception, it is also intended to give "old-timers" something to think about.

Class members are expected to attend classes faithfully and to prepare for each meeting by completing any homework that may have been assigned the previous week. There will be opportunity for questions during each class meeting.
