Faith Formation, simply put, is our Sunday morning Christian Education time. It's All Saints' version of Sunday School. It provides a wonderful opportunity to explore, learn, and grow in our faith in Jesus Christ with others. Faith Formation classes meet from 9:00 AM to 9:45 AM at All Saints Church. We greatly encourage individuals and families to come and join in. If you have any questions, please contact David Hyman (919-631-9564).

Spring 2010 - Course Descriptions
Ways of Praying
Let's face it--for many of us, prayer is a touchy subject. No matter whether we are brand new to the whole idea of God or seasoned veterans in following Jesus, prayer can be hard to understand, hard to talk about, and especially hard to do. If this is where you’re at, then Ways of Praying is for you. We'll spend 6 weeks exploring different ways of relating to God in prayer. We'll take some time to talk about this stuff, but the primary goal of the class is practical. We intend to spend most of our time doing the stuff, and learning from our doing.
So, no matter whether you are brand new or a seasoned veteran, if you want to learn more about prayer, if you need some encouragement about prayer, or if your prayer life just needs a shot in the arm, this class is for you!
Shaped by the Story
For thousands of years, stories were the key means for Jews and Christians to learn and experience God. Inspired by the ancient Hebrew way of learning through careful observation and discussion, Shaped by the Story will seek to recapture the sacred art of biblical storytelling - a sequential telling of stories from the Biblical narrative followed by a time of review and dialogue. This promises to be a meaningful and unique time to learn together as a community. We trust that as we immerse ourselves in God's word, we will be transformed. Adults and youth are welcome.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Parents, our Children's Faith Formation class is proving to be an invaluable resource for helping families disciple their children. This session of we will be using curriculum from a program entitled Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. We would like to invite all parents to come and observe and provide us feedback. Your perspective will help us make decisions on implementing this material in the Fall.
Nursery
Children from birth to 3, will be cared for by our nursery staff from 9 - 9:45. They will read Bible stories, do some simple activities, and play. A morning snack will be provided. Please be timely in picking up your kids and checking in with them before the start of the worship service.
