July 27 Adult Ed – Prayer and Evangalism

The new St. Alban’s series on “Strengthening Our Evangelism” led by Jason Ingrassia is meeting this Sunday July 27 at 9:45am.  The theme for July 27 is “Prayer and Evangelism.”
The July 20 session was dedicated to “Listening.” Listening to others is the most important part of evangelism. Scriptures related to listening were read. Two points of view were laid out: How to be a good listener and How not to be a bad listener! We will be discussing how to make the class PowerPoint slides available on the Saint Alban’s website, for our use and our usefulness to others.
These sessions meet in the fellowship hall between services from 9:45-10:35.  Coffee, beverages and breakfast snacks are offered.  All are welcome and encouraged to
attend, from young recently confirmed teens all the way up to our eldest members of the congregation. The group will be studying Scripture texts on evangelism and considering various personal approaches to engage our family, friends, and neighbors with the joy of Jesus. Let’s do our part and help revive our community and church by reaching others for Christ. These sessions will enable you to identify your particular God-given gifts in honing your specific outreach to others-gifts that we frequently never explore!

The sessions will continue to run weekly through late August.
