The Big Story
2026-03-22 10:15 - 11:00
This year in Sunday School, our Middle Schoolers will walk through the whole Bible from start to finish. They will get to know God’s great story for all of creation and how they are a part of it! The Bible can be intimidating and overwhelming. By opening our Bibles each week and looking at each book from a 30,000ft view, we hope that the Bible will be less of “that really big book,” and more of “my constant companion” and “the big story that is my story.” Join us in the Vicarage on Sunday mornings from 10:15 to 11:00 a.m.

Youth Confirmation
2026-03-22 10:15 - 11:00
Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a Bishop. At St. Francis in the Fields, preparation for confirmation is open to all who are baptized and will at least in the 8th grade in the 2025-26 school year. If you would like to seek out confirmation, we ask that you commit to a process of instruction and formation that includes a year-long confirmation class held during the Sunday school hour each week.

Rector's Forum: Virtue and Vice
2026-03-22 10:15 - 11:00
What actually moves us—toward goodness or toward disordered desires? The Christian tradition understands virtues and vices not merely as “good habits” and “bad habits,” but as expressions—healthy or disordered—of deeply human desires. In this seven-week Rector’s Forum, we will explore the classic virtues and vices as a mirror held up to our own lives, helping us better understand what makes us tick.
Framed within the lifelong, Spirit-empowered process of “Sanctification,” this class will invite participants into deeper self-knowledge, greater wisdom, and a more peaceable way of life. By attending carefully to character, habit, and desire, we will consider how God, by grace, turns us from vice toward virtue, and forms us more fully into the likeness of Christ.
The class meets for seven weeks, from February 8 through March 22, and is open to all who desire to grow in spiritual maturity and intentional Christian living.

Rooted: Young Adult Ministry Small Group
2026-03-22 10:15 - 11:00

We’ll be exploring a Rule of Life—what it is, how to thoughtfully build one, and how it can grow with you through different seasons. Together, we’ll reflect on spiritual rhythms that foster intentional living, deeper faith, and sustainable practices for everyday life.
Whether you’re new to the concept or looking to refine your spiritual rhythms, this group offers a welcoming space for conversation, learning, and growth. (And, as an added bonus, we’ll provide breakfast each week.)

Spiritual Disciplines for High Schoolers
2026-03-22 10:15 - 11:00

A Service of Tenebrae
2026-04-01 20:00 - 21:00
From the Latin for “darkness,” or “shadows,” Tenebrae is the celebration of morning prayer in the days preceding Easter. Traditionally, these daily offices were sung in the early hours of the morning or anticipated the evening before as darkness was setting in. A candelabra features prominently, and after the recitation of the appointed psalms, candles are gradually extinguished to the point of total darkness. Don’t miss this powerful liturgy, the perfect way to immerse yourself in the journey of Holy Week as we move from darkness to light.
