Inquirer's Class
Mondays from April 1st - May 13th @ 7PM via Zoom
We will be offering an inquirer’s class for folks who would like to learn more about the Episcopal Church and who would also like to be confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church. On Sunday, June 2, 2024, Bishop Stevenson will be visiting with us as part of our 175th anniversary and will confirm/receive candidates during this service.
Our time together in class will be a virtual experience over six sessions offered via Zoom for convenience and to accommodate busy schedules. (No class on April 29th)
The text we will be using is entitled “Welcome to a Life of Faith in the Episcopal Church” written by The Rev. Megan Castellan. This book is available on Amazon. If you are interested and would like to participate, please purchase the book and let Fr. Rod know by email. rector@stpetersoakgrove.org (Please read the introduction and chapter 1 before our first class meeting) Attached to this email is our syllabus for your reference.

The Rev. William McGuire had previously reported that no Episcopal Church existed in Washington Parish. In 1849, his report was updated as follows, “A commodious, and excellent brick church has been completed at Oak Grove in this parish, and is now ready for consecration.” St. Peter’s in Oak Grove was consecrated by The Rt. Rev. John Johns on May 31, 1849. to replace Pope’s Creek Church (1744-1826).
