Christian Formation Hour – Adult Forum
10.45-11.45 Sunday mornings. The Adult Forum is designed to complement the worship experience or to stand on its own as a separate entry point into the St Martin Community. People new to the Episcopal Church, who may not yet feel ready for our full worship experience are welcome to drop in for coffee and the Adult Forum only.
