The Way

• a secret society
• an elitist group
• only for one age group

Rather, The Way is:

• a chance for interested persons, from teen
  to mature age, to grow together in the faith
• a chance to explore new areas and review
  things learned years ago
• a chance to meet folks and make new
  friends
• a chance to better understand the scriptures
  and see how they apply to daily life.

The adult catecheumenate program, The Way, was developed at St. Mark’s to facilitate the process of faith forming for adults. The process in which the basic disciplines of the Christian faith, worship, prayer, scripture study, and ministry in daily life, are studied, discussed, understood, and used.

The sixth season that candidates and their sponsors undertook the process that we here at St. Mark's call THE WAY commenced in September 2006. So far, over sixty members of our congregation have participated in this process as a candidate and/or sponsor.

THE WAY is for:

• unbaptized adults

• adults from other Christian denominations

• adults from other Lutheran congregations

• questioning adults wanting to grow in their relationship with Christ

• St. Mark's members who wish a deeper understanding of their faith

If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a candidate or a sponsor, contact Pastor Elkin at 323-4619 or Mel Wentzel, 327-8286.
