Education for Ministry returns to St. Andrew's!
Education for Ministry (EfM) now has two paths:
EfM: Classic is still the four-year program with the first year devoted to studying the Hebrew Bible and the second year to the New Testament. The third year dives into church history, while the fourth year looks at ethics and spirituality.
EfM: Wide Angle is a one-year survey course which delves briefly into all four of these topics and is perfect for those new to EfM and graduates, alike.
What unites the two paths is the intentional community of learners who use the EfM curriculum to combine the knowledge from these studies with our own lived experiences to reflect on our relationships with God, each other, and Creation. Since we are all called to minister in our world, the discussions in EfM aim to strengthen us for that ministry. Whether new to the church, a cradle Episcopalian, or someone with more questions than answers, EfM is a space for fellowship and reflection.
EfM will meet Mondays, 6:30-9:00 pm, in the Lounge. The EfM year is 36 weeks, starting after Labor Day, and participants should plan to commit to the entire year in order to support the stability of the group. Participants can expect 2-4 hours of reading/study each week. The cost is $372.75, plus the cost of books.
For more information: Contact Mandy Davis at madavi@umich.edu, visit EfM’s website, or review the book list.

Music Notes
Hymn 469: There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
The simple interweaving lines of melody and accompaniment in this hymn give us a chance to slow down and appreciate the tenderness and compassion of the words. The result is a hauntingly beautiful meditation on God’s love for all of us, as we see in the Gospel lesson this morning. Calvin Hampton (1938-1984) set the text for the Sisters of St. Helena, Episcopalian nuns in New York City. The text’s author, Frederick W. Faber, worked as a parish priest in Birmingham in 19th century. So both words and music in this quiet hymn were created in the noise and bustle of big-city life: may it calm our busy lives, too, as we pray it in our own noisy, troubled world. - Donna Wessel Walker
