All Saints' is blessed to have a number of outstanding teachers and mentors among us.

There is a wisdom tradition in Christianity that is deep, rich and exciting. Here is the place to find experienced guides for your journey of seeking in those places.

Christ Centered Prayer
Mondays at 5:30 pm and Thursdays at Noon
Led by Rev. Sandy Casey-Martus

Wisdom Class
Tuesdays 10:00 AM in the Library
Led by Jan Hilton

The Wisdom Class is reading But I Tell You by Karen L. Oberst. This book takes the verses from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5-7) in the original Greek and expands upon them to challenge us in our modern era. Walter Wink, author of The Powers That Be, writes: “The Sermon on the Mount is the most radical statement of Jesus’ new reality, and But I Tell You is a good place to engage its challenge to new life. This lively and readable book is made the more valuable thanks to the author’s knowledge of Greek. Read, and enjoy.” Please join us the last Tuesday in January when we start reading But I Tell You. The Wisdom Class meets on Tuesday mornings in the library 10-11:30. Books will be available in the office for $15.00 each.

The Class on Nonviolence
Third Wednesday each month at 6:00 p.m
Led by Chuck Shamel and Joann Luckie in the Library

EfM (Education for Ministry)

EfM is a four-year program of study that includes a survey of scripture, church history and theology. In addition, there is an opportunity for theological reflection -- listening for the voice and presence of God in the life of the world. Students commit to one year of study at a time in small classes with an experienced EfM mentor. There is a fee for this course and scholarships are available. We have three EfM groups, morning and evening. For more information about classes beginning this fall call the office at 855-6294.
