Adult Programs

Pastoral Care
We are very concerned that the pastoral needs of everyone are met whatever the circumstances. Episcopal clergy from our area can visit you at home, in rehab, in the hospital. They are supported by the Messiah Eucharistic visitors who will bring you Holy Communion if you are unable to come to church. If you experience the death of a loved one please contact the office anytime.

Bible study
We offer seasonal Bible and book study opportunities throughout the year. Please contact the Church Office for information on the current study. 

Education for Ministry
Education for Ministry, which is led by The Rev. Lorna Erixon, the rector at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Mendham, begins in September. The meetings are hosted via Zoom on Thursday evenings from 7-9 pm. This college level class invites the participants to study the Bible in depth and to think reflectively and theologically. Anyone can enroll in the program and you do not need to be a church member to belong. The first year includes an in-depth study of the Old Testament, the second year an in-depth study of the New Testament, the third year an in-depth study of church history, and the fourth year an in-depth study of theology. 

Wednesdays Away
​While Messiah's Wednesday Group has ceased, we want to remind others that Cross Roads Retreat Center offers wonderful Wednesdays Away each Month. Although there is a fee, lunch is provided and the sessions are longer sessions. The events are amazing.  Most leaders have Episcopal connections. Link to workshop information.

Adult Education
​
Sunday Adult Forums
Messiah offers seasonal Adult formation on Sunday mornings. We are currently on break for the summer. Towards the end of the summer we will announce our Fall series.
