The Spring 2017 Parish Academy session wrapped up the last of June, and as we enter into a brief summer hiatus, we want to warmly thank our four instructors who gave their time and talents to lead this important educational outreach for the past 11 weeks: 

Fr Reid Hensarling, who taught A Theology of Word and Spirit; Dan Bridgeford, who taught Evangelism in Our Post Modern World; Susan Waldron, who taught The King’s Cross; and Phil Mays, who taught The Gospel of John. 

If you missed any or all of the spring courses, you can find recordings to download on the All Saints’ Vimeo page: www.vimeo.com/allsaintslakeland.

Parish Academy is a vital part of the life of All Saints’. We hope you will join us this fall and take advantage of this rich educational opportunity. Come early for the Wednesday evening worship service, which beings at 6 pm. in the chapel. Parish Academy follows from 7-8:30 p.m. Courses scheduled for this fall will take place Sept. 6 - Dec. 13 and will include:   

• World Religions with Fr. Reid Hensarling, meeting in John Classroom

• Old Testament with Linda Marichal, meeting in Mark Classroom

• The God Who Is There: Finding Your Place in God's Story with Susan Waldron, meeting in Luke Classroom

• The History of Christianity: From Pentecost to the Reformation with Ignacio Morrell, meeting in Moses Hall

Remember that all books needs for the classes can be purchased in our bookstore LESS the sales tax!

Look for registration information for the Fall Parish Academy courses in your church bulletin starting August 13.  See you there!
