ADULT EDUCATION AND STUDY OPPORTUNITIES AT GRACE CHURCH . . .  
 
LECTIONARY STUDY GROUP
Every Sunday as we gather together in worship, we hear various readings from both the Old and New Testaments which form our understanding of God and inform who we are as God’s people. The challenge that many of us encounter as we hear Scripture during worship is that without some familiarity or context, the readings can be difficult to understand. The Lectionary Study Group is an opportunity to discuss themes and prepare for the Sunday liturgy with others in community. This is not a Bible Study, but a lectionary reading group for those who are hoping to gain some background with the readings before Sunday and ultimately to deepen their worship experience.
 
Lectionary Study Group meetings will be on Zoom on the following Thursdays at 7 PM:
December 4 and 18
 
STUDY GROUP WITH BISHOP CARYLE HUGHES, XI BISHOP OF NEWARK
Subject content to be determined
 
Bishop’s Study Group meetings will be on Zoom on the following Tuesdays at 7 PM

SACRED GROUND
Sacred Ground is a film and readings based dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race and racism, while weaving in threads of family history, economic class, and political and regional identity. The program is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is part of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is open to all, and especially designed to help white people talk with other white people. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
 
Sacred Ground: Meetings will be on Zoom on Thursdays at 7 PM except where noted.
