Adult Formation: Sin, Suffering & Salvation (Copy)
Every Sunday we pray, “Merciful Father, in your compassion forgive us our sins, known and unknown, things done and left undone.” What is (y)our default understanding of “sin”? How is sin linked to “suffering,” ours and Jesus’? How does “Jesus save us from sin”? In other words, what is “salvation” in relation to sin? Join fellow parishioner, Greg Zuschlag (professor of theology), over the course of five Sundays exploring these vital theological questions during this penitential season of Lent.

St. Paul's Episcopal Montessori School is on break March 9-13, which means our reception desk is not open to keep regular office hours. The Church will still hold all its regular meetings and worship services, and your church staff will still be hard at work! Please email us if you need to contact us or arrange a meeting.
