Inviting Ministries

​

Our Inviting Ministries include our public welcome to the community through our website, newsletter, signs, etc. We also reach out to invite others in through the Alpha program. We also help the parish learn how to share their God stories and invite others in.

ALPHA: Alpha is a ten week practical introduction to the Christian faith. It offers answers to some key questions and also allows an opportunity to strengthen your faith through small group discussions. It is ideal for those new to the Christian faith, or to those who are interested in exploring Christianity in a non-threatening environment. Alpha includes food, a talk, and good conversation. At this time, we don’t have Alpha on the schedule, though we are beginning to plan for one in 2020. Alpha runs in many churches. Check www.alphausa.org for an Alpha near you.

CONNECTING MINISTRIES

​

Our Connecting Ministries grow disciples of Jesus Christ by helping form personal connections and Christian fellowship among parishioners, especially for those new to the church. The Teams that support these efforts are Newcomers, Foyers, and ECW. We also put together special parish events such as picnics and Parish Retreats.

NEWCOMERS: The Newcomers Team follows-up with our guests and new members to provide a personal welcome, supporting their connection to the parish at their own pace. We also hold Newcomer’s Dinners to help facilitate a personal welcome and further personal connections for those new to the parish. For more information, and to get involved, contact Susan Prout.

FOYERS DINNER GROUPS: Foyer Groups have been part of our Episcopal tradition since WWII in the 1940’s when Churches in England were demolished and believers wanted to gather and maintain their collective Christian spirit, friendships, and relationships. Click here for more information about the Foyer Group background, its purpose, how Foyer Groups align with SPSP Vision and Mission and some of the specifics of the forming the groups and how they operate. If you are interested in participating in this next Foyer Group season from January through May, please contact Tom Martin.
