Sunday: Adults & Youth Meet at 9:15 am
Inquirer's Class
The adults meet in the parish library known as the "green room." Youth, ages three to eighteen, meet in the north
wing of the church. A nursery is provided for children under three years of age.
Benedictine Studies (Every other Thursday evening)
This class if intended to instruct in the ancient disciplines of prayer, study, work, and leisure. Using a 1500 year-old rule
created by St. Benedict of Nursia, students learn how this rule can be applied to their daily lives and more of what it means
to be in community with others, to extend hospitality, and to care for their souls. We meet in the conference room of the
parish office.
Vacation Church School
During the month of June or July, we offer a two to three day Vacation Church School for our
pre-school and elementary age children.
St. Margaret's Guild
Meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 10:30 am for a presentation on a biblical topic. Lunch follows at noon.
In years past this area of ministry has been called Christian Education or Sunday School.
Christian Formation is the process whereby, in Christ, we become more completely the persons
and people that God intends for us to be. Education regarding the Bible or other areas of
Christian knowledge is but one step in the process of formation. These teachings must be
integrated into daily living if they are to be of any benefit. Therefore, a lifelong commitment in
community, with the working of the Spirit, is the means whereby we are formed.

This class is intended for adults who are new to our parish and the Episcopal Church. This is also an
excellent opportunity for our older members to become reacquainted with the teachings of the Episcopal
Church on Christian Faith, Church History, the Sacraments, the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer,
Worship, and a number of other subjects. Attending the Inquirer's Class is also a requirement for being
Confirmed in the Episcopal Church.
Junior & Senior High Youth Group
Our youth meet at 5:30 pm each Wednesday for food, fun, education, and service projects in the Ada community. We
strongly encourage our youth to be a part of this formative ministry that we share with First Presbyterian Church of Ada.
Retreats and Summer Mission projects are also in the works.
