“The Gospel of Luke”

Starting on Sunday, November 13th, at 10:30 in the Historic Chapel, our Sunday morning adult forum will start a review of “The Gospel of Luke” with an abbreviated form of the preceding Monday night’s Bible study.  We will take it chapter by chapter, exploring the history behind the text and looking at how the scripture applies to our lives and our world.  Just one trip for worship and Bible study, a true package deal!

Led by: The Rev. Michael Delk
Monday nights at 7 pm
Begins Nov. 12, 2011
New Chapel Narthex

Wednesday Morning Ladies Bible Study led by Ms. Mary Brittain takes place Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. in the Narthex. This is a continuing study and fellowship group. They are currently studying the New Testament in the format of half-hour lectures on DVD by Professor Bart D. Ehrman of the University of North Carolina, Department of Religion. Member Anna Stone says, “Our St. Hilarious Group has been meeting on Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. for more than 30 years. We are more than a Bible Study Group. We meet to pray together, counsel each other, solve problems, chat, study Scripture, fold a few bulletins for the Sunday services, read and discuss Christian Literature, and share life. We laugh a lot. Our membership has dwindled over the years and we want some of you to join us as we regroup this fall. We welcome anyone who would like to join a loving, sharing, joyous, serious, questioning, happy, spirit filled group.”

Education for Ministry (EFM)
We have an active EFM group meeting Wednesday evenings at 7:00 in the Wilkinson Center. The EFM program, which can be completed in four years, provides Christians with the basic skills in theological reflection, which lay the foundation of Christian ministry. Through this process, students sharpen their skills of personal and cultural assessment and enhance their ability to be effective in a variety of ministries. Learn more about EFM on the Sewanee web site or contact HNC’s EFM mentors: Phyllis Faas and Rick Garfield.


Retreats

Hickory Neck sponsors special retreats periodically – watch the newsletters and bulletins for information. Regular opportunities to grow as a Christian are offered by Cursillo in the Diosese of Southern Virginia. Cursillo is often known as a three-day retreat weekend held at Camp Chanco on the James, but the weekend is not all that Cursillo offers.
Learn more about Cursillo.

 

Chanco on the James was the site of the 2011 HNC Parish Retreat on Friday, October 14 and Saturday, October 15.  Just a ferry ride and a short drive transports you to the beauty of Chanco.    Parishioners of all ages were a part of this time of fellowship and inspiration with our church family.
