Youth Ministry in the Diocese of Delaware. Teri Valente, Youth Ministry Coordinator and the Program Director for Camp Arrowhead, has created her own website for diocesan youth.
For Adults: Education for Ministry starts in September, 2010. Grace Episcopal Church, Wilmington, will be starting its next year of Education for Ministry (EfM) this coming September. Join us! We will meet on Monday evenings, 7:00 to 9:30 pm.
EfM is a four-year program for small groups developed by the School of Theology at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Year One members study the Old Testament; Year Two focuses on the New Testament. Church History and Liturgy make up Years Three and Four. Many people decide to do just one year of EfM. Others complete all four years.
If you have an interest in learning more about the Bible and our Christian heritage, think about EfM. If you want to zero in on your own personal ministry, EfM can help you do that. And if you want to be part of a group that learns to reflect theologically, sharing plenty of laughs and smiles in the process, please give us a call for more information, at 478-9533.
