CnC is an opportunity to
figure out what you believe— whether you were confirmed ages ago or never,
whether you’ve been an Episcopalian forever or are new to the Episcopal
Church, whether you’re sure you know all the answers or feel overwhelmed by
questions—and put that belief to work in your daily life. The lessons focus
on belief (What do we personally believe? What are our Creeds? What do other
religions be-lieve?), on the Word and Sacraments (What is the Bible? How do
we read it? What are the sacraments? How do they work in our daily lives?
What is the Book of Common Prayer? What does it mean to be Anglican?), and
on practicing our faith (How do we live out what we believe? How do we
fulfill the promises made at our baptism? Where do we go from here?).
CnC also focuses
on spiritual practices. At each class, participants are asked to select a
spiritual practice to try each day until the next class meets. The
CnC writers remind us
that, ―The focus on spiritual practices underlines that faith is held not
just in the head but in the heart, and that the integration of faith and
daily life can strengthen both.
Come out to Confirm
not Conform. You might get some answers. Maybe
you’ll find more questions. Either way, you’ll be on a journey, and you
won’t travel alone. You’ll experience the rich fellowship which comes when
broth-ers and sisters in Christ share their faith. If you have questions,
please speak to the Rector .
Note: We will
have activities for the children, so bring the whole family.
We'll also have coffee, tea and coffee cake or muffins during the
discussions.
