Michael has a request for those planning to attend the Christian Formation meetings rather than deciding all of our topics in advance.  I'd like your help. What questions have you always wanted to ask? Is there something in the Bible you've never understood? A passage you've found confusing? Something about God, prayer, suffering, heaven, forgiveness, or the Episcopal Church that you've always wondered about but never had the chance to discuss? There are no silly questions, no embarrassing questions, and no tests. You can email me with your question or hand me a note or slip a note under my office door. No names will be attached to the questions. My hope is that many of our Christian Formation sessions this fall will grow out of the real questions and real curiosities of the people of Holy Cross. Fr. Michael would like these questions by the first of September so he can prepare for the first meeting.
