ADULT FORMATION
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
- Colossians 2:6-7

Sunday, October 4: Journeys Poetry Discussion Group
Journeys is a group for adults who enjoy poetry, theological discussion, and diving into the deep topics of life and faith. All are welcome to join the conversation, which begins with reading a poem several times in a meditative way, then looking at its spiritual themes, before often meandering in a variety of different directions. The poems range from ancient to contemporary, and it is remarkable how poetry can spark rich and reflective discussions.
Sunday, October 11: God at Work
A Sunday Morning Series at St. Alban’s beginning October 11
We know that God’s presence in our lives is not limited to Sunday mornings, so how does God show up in our spheres of work?
In our culture, so much of one’s identity is tied to the work we do. For some, work is a vocation, a calling we have answered. For others, work is a job—we do it primarily to support our families, but it can still have profound meaning for us. And for some, the working life is a memory that still shapes us even after we have retired.
Come and listen as members of our community share their insights and stories of how they have seen and experienced God at work in their professional lives.
The God at Work series will kick off on October 11 with The Rt. Rev. Sam Rodman reflecting on his work as a Bishop and how God has sustained and guided his ministry here in the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina. As he prepares for retirement in 2027, we are blessed to have this opportunity to hear from him.
Subsequent weeks of this series will feature panels of St. Alban’s parishioners who have worked as teachers, medical professionals, artists, therapists, and more. The full God at Work schedule will be published soon, so stay tuned!
DAUGHTERS OF THE KING
The Order of the Daughters of the King is an international community of Episcopal, Anglican, Lutheran (ELCA), and Roman Catholic women who take vows to pray and serve our Lord Jesus Christ every day. Becoming a member professes the intentionality to pray and serve. We model the importance of prayer and service in our parishes and in the larger church.
BIBLE STUDY
On Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. the clergy lead a weekly in-person Bible Study in the Reflection Room. Together we read and reflect on the lectionary scripture lessons for the upcoming Sunday. This is a wonderful way to deepen your faith and understanding of the Bible. No RSVPs or advanced reading is needed--just drop in when you can.
