http://stjohnthedivine.churchsites.comSt. John the Divine Episcopal Churchen-ushttp://stjohnthedivine.churchsites.com/CalendarDetail.asp?id=17572 Every baptized person is called to ministry. The Education for Ministry EfM program provides people with the education to carry out that ministry. During the Service of Confirmation we ask God to Renew in these your servants the covenant you made with them at Baptism. Send them forth in the power of the Spirit to perform the service you set before them. EfM offers an opportunity to discover how to respond to the call to Christian service.The EfM program is specifically for lay people who face the difficult and often subtle task of interpreting the richness of the church's faith in a complex and confusing world. They need a theological education which supports their faith and also teaches them to express that faith in day-to-day events. As the emphasis on lay ministry has grown EFM has come to play an important role by providing a program that develops an informed and knowledgeable laity. Members of an EFM group experience community challenge themselves in study and learn ways to become more intentional and articulate in the ministries to which they are called in their daily lives.The EfM program does not evaluate or recommend individuals for ordination. Many people think that one must be ordained in order to be a minister. The fact is that all baptized Christians are called to be active participants in the church's total ministry. This TOTALMINISTRY is nothing less than the exercise of the church's vocation to continue the ministry of Jesus. He reconciled the world to God. We are called to incarnate that reconciliation in our own time and in our own place through worship service to others and by proclamation of God's Word to all people.The EfM program is preparation for the ministry to which we all are called. It is that vocation for which we pray at the end of the Eucharist: And now Father send us out to do the work you have given us to do to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord.Participants in the EfM program study the entire sweep of the Christian tradition from the earliest period to the present. Participants learn the disciplines of biblical study and interpretation systematic theology church history ethics liturgics and theology. The traditional content is not studied in a vacuum. Students belong to small communities of learning in which the events of each person's life may be examined in the light of the materials being studied. While the course materials provide substantial academiccontent the focus of the program is on life as ministry and understanding that ministry. EfM provides Christians with that basic skill which is the foundation of all Christian ministry -- theological reflection. In doing this participants sharpen their skills of personaland cultural assessment and enhance abilities to be effective in a variety of ministries. EfM meets on Thursday evenings 5:30p beginning September 22. There is a cost 350 but it can be spread out over 7 months.

It is estimated that each alcoholic affects the lives of at least four other people... alcoholism is truly a family disease. No matter what relationship you have with an alcoholic whether they are still drinking or not all who have been affected by someone elses drinking can find solutions that lead to serenity in the Al-AnonAlateen fellowship. What is Al-Anon? The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience strength and hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery. Al-Anon is not allied with any sect denomination political entity organization or institution does not engage in any controversy neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions. Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.
