Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.
– II Corinthians 3:17-18
We experience God as fully embodied human beings. This experience includes our minds, what we know, and also our emotions, will, personality, and body. We believe that God wants to transform all of who we are. We believe to be formed by the Holy Spirit in this way requires both participation and intentionality. Christian spiritual formation is the process of being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ for the glory of God and for the sake of others.
One great way to participate in this spiritual formation at St. Paul’s is to join in on our Sunday School classes for all ages. We carefully consider what material to present, and we hope that every person finds their ministry in our classes. Sunday School classes meet during our “program year” – which typically begins the Sunday after Labor Day and ends the Sunday before Memorial Day. During the summer we offer more ad hoc opportunities to be formed, but the bulk of our classes are offered during the program year.
