Adult Education
At St. Michael’s, we believe that developing a mature faith is a life-long journey, knowing that questions, doubts, and discoveries are a part of learning and growing in faith. The Adult Education program is designed to challenge, stretch, and deepen our faith as it is lived out in our homes, workplaces, and world.
Religion in Life - September through May
Religion in Life is a Sunday morning learning opportunity for adults during the program year. We host excellent speakers in various fields as they explore personal, social, Biblical, and ethical issues and invite conversation regarding how faith can inform and shape our responses to them.
This fall we will be hosting Religion in Life online due to the pandemic. Lectures will be posted on our website and YouTube channel starting September 13th.

Faith in Daily Life
Meaningful Lunch Conversations
The Wednesday Faith in Daily Life lunch conversations, which meet from 12:00-1:00 p.m. will continue with options for on-line or in-person conversation. The current plan is for the First Wednesday of the Month group, and the Second Wednesday of the Month Group to be on-line using Zoom. The Third Wednesday of the Month group will meet on the patio at St. Michael’s (outdoors, physically distanced) through October, in the case of rain we will move on-line with Zoom.
Faith in Daily Life will be reading The Myth of the American Dream: Reflections on Affluence, Autonomy, Safety, and Power. As we reflect on the past six months with COVID-19, racism and injustice, and the call to be a new community, we ground ourselves in what it means to pay attention, to lament and grieve, to learn, and to change or be “converted.”
Please join us - and jump in any time! All are welcome.

Women’s Circles
September - June
Women's circles are a wonderful way to connect, build relationships, and join others in conversation and study. Normally, the Sarah Circle meets the first Tuesday of every month at 9:30 a.m. and Elisabeth Circle meets the first Wednesday of each month at 1:00 p.m.
Due to the pandemic, the Sarah and Elisabeth Circles will not continue with a planned study this year. However, we will gather for a September social gathering for those who feel comfortable meeting in-person as weather permits.
The Sarah Circle will meet on September 15th at 9:30 a.m. and the Elisabeth Circle will meet on September 16th at 1:00 p.m. Both groups will meet on the church patio outside of the fellowship hall.
If it is raining/storming, we will cancel the circle gathering.
