This Week and Beyond
Parish Hall Forum (Oct. 13) Conversation with the Clergy: Deconstructing the Nicene Creed: Join the clergy for a laidback conversation about the Nicene Creed. We say the Creed Sunday after Sunday, but rarely consider where it comes from and why we recite it at every service of Eucharist. Come and learn more about this ancient tradition and ponder its relevance in the Church today.
