ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- Our very own Jim Waltenberger has felt the call to pursue formal studies in Orthodox theology. He is in the process of applying to take St. Stephen's Course in Orthodox Theology, a three-year, distance-education-based, certificate program. The course is aimed at introducing laity and clergy alike to the richness of Orthodox theology through rigorous and extensive readings and practical ministry projects. Students also receive in-person instruction during a one-week summer residency. Completion of this three year program is the next step toward Jim becoming a deacon. We are proud of his growth and progress during the six years he's been at St. Thomas. Tuition is $450 per semester. Anyone who feels led to contribute to Jim's school and/or vestment expenses can do so by labeling your gift for Jim W. He is a beloved, hard-working member of our family, and we all pray God's blessings on this next step of his journey.
