Adult Learning
We can spend our whole lives getting to know God . . . There’s always more to discover!
Bishop Budde Book Club
Our most recent adult education opportunity was a Lenten online series reading How We Learn to Be Brave, by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.
In response to the powerful sermon by Bishop Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington at the National Cathedral prayer service on January 21 2025, this book has skyrocketed in popularity.
This Book Club was well attended, with a second section added. It will be offered again. Fill out the registration form if you would like to attend the next section.
Bible and Beyond
Need a midweek pick-me-up? We have adult learning opportunities on Thurs. evenings 7:30-8:30 p.m. via Zoom.
On weeks we don’t have other adult programming, we meet to study scripture. No experience needed; doubts and questions welcome! Come learn, pray, and enjoy time with fellow parishioners. Come as you are – no need to read the Bible passage ahead of time.
To get the Zoom link or learn more, please email our parish administrator, at office@church-of-our-saviour.org.
The Way of Love
This 9-class course helps us create a well-balanced spiritual life. It’s intended for adults and teens ages 16+ who may want to be confirmed, received into the Episcopal Church, or reaffirm their baptismal vows. It’s also great for longtime Christians wanting to become more intentional about their faith.

Law and Stephanie Spellers, The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander, This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein, Laudato Si by Pope Francis, Strength for the Journey: A Guide to Spiritual Practices by Renee Miller, and The Book of Common Prayer.
