Upcoming Events
The Pascha Book Study starts the first Wednesday after Pascha, and the book that we are going to be using is called Hidden and Triumphant, and it’s a history of Russian iconography during the Soviet years.
The book that we will be using for the Fall Theological Seminar is now available. It’s called The 21: A Journey into the Land of the Coptic Martyrs. It’s an international best-seller by a German journalist named Martin Mosbach, and it’s about the 21 Egyptians who were martyred in Libya in 2015 by Islamic State terrorists.
The Pascha Book Study begins this coming Wednesday, May 1; the book we are using is called Laughing at the Devil; it’s by Laura Hall.
We are excited to begin church school on September 16th! Please note the following change to our calendar. Instead of meeting weekly during the school year, church school will now run year-round, on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month.
Back to School. St Thomas School, that is. If you started out with us back in the summer and have since become too busy—or if you haven’t yet tried out the school—this is a good time to get involved. We’re starting a new section in our current textbook.
The Fall Theological Seminar begins on Wednesday, September 12. This year, we will be reading a wonderful novel by Marilynne Robinson called Gilead. You can easily pick up an inexpensive copy at Christ the Lightgiver Bookstore. This year, groups will also be meeting in Georgetown (at the home of Mike and Linda Brown) and in Killeen (at the offices of Randy Hardin). So, where ever you may be in Central Texas this fall, on Wednesday evenings, plan on joining us at 7pm as we discuss this lovely book.
With the knowledge that 1 in 10 children will be sexually abused before they turn 18 years old, it is vital to learn the types of situations in which child sexual abuse could occur and simple, effective strategies for protecting children.
Come join us for this new series where we will explore the reality of God’s creation and learn the Orthodox way of understanding God’s creation, angels and demons, and mankind.
