The Saint Alban’s Schedule for
September – December 2024
September 8, 15, 25, 29, October 6, 13, 20 – Building Courageous Christians by Strengthening our Biblical Worldview
A 7-week foundational review to strengthen our evangelism and apologetics with family and friends needing Christ. 7 biblical truths are walked through: God, human beings, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, the Bible, salvation and damnation, and the devil. Led by Jason Ingrassia and Fred Carlson of Saint Alban’s Adult Education team. Free 16-page color booklet given to all attendees.
Adult Ed team member Craig Huntington leads three weeks using one of the world’s leading theologians brief 6 minute messages on the topic of salvation. 3 messages per class with discussion time.
Deborah Silverstein (our music director and choir director) leads two sessions on what makes the Getty contemporary hymns so theologically profound and popular.
The Bible readings of Advent pour out massive meaning on two of Jesus Christ’s truths: the birth of the Savior in human terms, born of a virgin coming to save His people, and also the prophecies related to His Second Coming-judgement, the day of reckoning, and the remade sinless universe. The Advent season established by the church in the second 500 years of its existence prepares Christians for joy in the saving acts of Jesus: who was both the babe in the manger and will be the coming revelation of righteousness establishing an eternal kingdom without sin or tears. Presented by Lawrence Silverstein with excellent handouts.

WINTER/SPRING 2025
Lenten Program 2025
Lenten Soup Dinner and Study and Discussion of the presentation “24 Hours that Changed the World” (the accounts of the Last Supper, Gethsemane, arrest, trial, beating, crucifixion/atonement) for the 7 Thursdays from March 6 to April 17. The program will include simple soup and bread meals and viewing/discussion segments.
Adult Ed team member and Music Director Deb Silverstein presents the stories of the hymns and theology expressed in our favorite hymns of Easter. Each hymn has an amazing story of the faith of the writers and the depth of the joy of Easter Resurrection.
Lawrence Silverstein and the Adult Ed team looks at the scriptures addressing the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit in the early years of the church (from Acts and other sources) as well as the guidance of the church today. Moving from Easter to Pentecost is the perfect time for this series!
Adult Education starts September 8!
