Adult Spiritual Formation: Bible Study

Adult Spiritual Formation: Bible Study

A New Bible Study!

“I just don’t get the Bible — it’s so old and outdated, it contradicts itself, and some of the stories are violent and disturbing.”
“OK, the teachings of Jesus are interesting and even profound, but the rest of the Bible? It just doesn’t seem relevant to me.”
“Some people are using the Bible to justify all kinds of laws and behaviors. How do we apply these ancient texts to 21st century life?”
The Adult Spiritual Formation Commission wants to create a space where you can explore questions such as these in an informal discussion format. On Tuesday, March 11, we are launching a new Bible study that will meet in Patterson Hall from 7:30 to 8:30 pm on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month.
The study will begin with the book of Genesis, which helps us think about who we are and how we came to be here. Our leader will be parishioner Douglas Furth, who has given several well-received talks for ASF in the past. For each session, Douglas will provide a brief intro highlighting any necessary background information, and then the group will read and discuss the passage together. Come join us!

Grace Church Quiet Day 2025

Grace Church Quiet Day 2025

A day of prayer, conversation, and silent reflection with Sr. Claire Joy, Community of the Holy Spirit
Join us for a Lenten day of quiet, led by Sr. Claire Joy, on the theme of Finding Wholeness in the Desert. The word desert can conjure up images of isolation, danger, purification — it’s where you either confront your emptiness or are consumed by it. Together we will explore how a desert experience can help us strip away the nonessential, and bring ourselves closer to God.
Saturday, March 8, 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Chapel of St. John the Divine, 170 Mott Farm Rd, Tomkins Cove
(includes continental breakfast & lunch)
Admission to Quiet Day is free, but attendees must register in advance by signing up in back of the church, or by calling or emailing the church office (parishoffice@gracechurchnyack.org). Questions? Call 845-358-1297. Sponsored by the Grace Adult Spiritual Formation Commission.
