Religious Education

Through the year we have regular opportunities for people to explore more about their faith, usually on Sundays after High Mass and often with a light luncheon.

Who are the Stewards?

Facilitator: Fr. Paul Burrows

We have all heard the word 'steward' in relation to all sorts of things at various times but have we ever thought deeply about what this means? There has been a long and distinguished history of people taking on the role of steward and often this has been beneficial both for the donor and for the steward. There have also been many examples of stewards who have taken over, that is who have ceased to run things for the benefit of the donor and taken everything for themselves. How do we fit into the model of being stewards? Do we really think that those things we have control over really belong to us or are we just temporary guardians of them? Come and be a part of a discussion of what it means to be stewards of creation and how we might hold ourselves accountable.

Stewards of our Church Property

Facilitator: Jane Camblin and Fr. Paul Burrows

Church of the Advent owns the gravel Parking Lot next to the Church Property and we have, for several years, talked about how we might develop it for the benefit of our Church and the wider community. Now the French American International School, our neighbor, have begun talking with us about a partnership project to develop our underused resource. Come to meet our neighbor, get to know them, and begin to talk about how we might, together, make this into something of benefit to our community.

Myself as a Steward

Facilitator: Fr. Paul Burrows

In the last two weeks we looked at what is a Steward and how we, as the Church of the Advent, can improve our stewardship of those things that are in our care. Today we begin to look at our own stewardship. How do we deploy the resources that have been give to us? Are we looking at how to make a difference to the world around us or are we simply concerned about our own comfort? Are we committed to being a part of a community of faith or are we simply spectators at a religious show? Come and make a difference today by being a voice in this community of faith.

Stewardship at Advent

Facilitator: Parish leaders

Over the Sundays of October we will engage in an in depth study of Stewardship at Church of the Advent of Christ the King. We have been given the privilege of guardianship of the flagship Anglo Catholic Church of the Diocese of California. How can each of us contribute to the continuation and expansion of this vital expression of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What ministries are calling me, what is an appropriate allocation of my resources, how can I be a part of bringing the love of God into the frightened and angry world in which we all live? As we address these questions we will offer training in all those ministries that need you to flourish - Altar Guild, Acolytes, Evening Prayer leaders, choir, Vestry, buildings and grounds, and many others. This is an opportunity to revitalize and expand our ministry here in San Francisco and in the world.
