Sparks St., lower level) on the first and third Sundays thereafter for six sessions. For more information, please email info@holytrinity-oca.org. Topics covered include the history of salvation, the doctrine of the early Church, Christian worship in the First Century, and spirituality (“What must I do to be saved?”).

Adult Study Group
The Adult Study Group is also led by Fr. John and meets every Tuesday at 7 p.m. throughout Fall 2015. The 14-week series begins September 8 and concludes December 8 (there will be no class on Election Day, November 3). The study is open to all adults. For more information, email info@holytrinity-oca.org.

Women’s Book Study
The Women’s Book Study kicks off on Thursday, September 10, at the rectory (562 Lanceshire Ln., in Park Forest) at 10 a.m. The group will study the life of Mother Maria Skobtsova and read Pearl of Great Price by Sergei Hackel.

Study Group to Explore St. Paul’s Exhortative Epistle

Posted on September 12, 2014 by in Adult Study Group, Announcements

High Priest in HeavenHoly Trinity’s Adult Study Group returns this Fall, moving to alternating Thursdays beginning September 18. Fr. John will lead an examination of The Epistle to the Hebrews, High Priest in Heaven by Fr. Lawrence R. Farley.

Meant to feed both the heart and the mind, the study will be both devotional and exegetical, drawing from several patristic sources. Working from a literal translation of the original Greek, the commentary examines St. Paul’s Epistle to the Hebrews section by section, explaining its meaning in everyday language.

Intended for those already Orthodox but open to all adults, this bimonthly educational opportunity resumes on September 18 at 7 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Books will be available to purchase or to borrow.

Study Group to Examine the Humanity of Christ

Posted on September 7, 2013 by in Adult Study Group

The Jesus We Missed Book CoverHoly Trinity’s Adult Study Group returns for second and fourth Tuesdays this Fall. Fr. John will lead an examination of The Jesus We Missed: The Surprising Truth About the Humanity of Christ by Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon.

The book offers insights into the humanity of Jesus Christ drawn from the Gospels so we can know God’s Son as He really is—a real man who came to redeem and sanctify every aspect of our lives. Participants will find the “historical Jesus,” not through biblical criticism but through the writings of the apostles  who knew Him best.

Intended for those already Orthodox but open to all adults, this bimonthly educational opportunity resumes on September 10 at 7 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Books will be available to purchase or to borrow.

Sponsor a Seminarian!

Posted on September 30, 2012 by in Adult Study Group, Announcements, Men's Fellowship

Continuing their Alaskan outreach which began as a construction mission last summer, members of the Men’s Fellowship have undertaken a $3,600 scholarship for Deacon Jason Isaacs, a native son of Marshall studying at St Herman’s Seminary. While the seminary provides a tuition-free education, Father Deacon and his family rely on voluntary contributions to provide for their living expenses.

The Men’s Fellowship hope to raise a least $300 a month for the Isaacs through monthly pledges of $20 for one year. You are invited to join in Dn. Jason’s support by using the special offering envelopes available in the narthex, even if you cannot make a pledge at this time.

Your generosity is greatly appreciated. For more information, please speak to Fr. John.

Those interested in learning more about the Orthodox Faith are invited to attend Holy Trinity’s other Tuesday night adult education offering, Orthodoxy 101. The inquirer’s class begins a series entitled “The Faith of our Fathers” on September 25 at 7 p.m, and continues every second and fourth Tuesday thereafter.

Both groups meet in the Holy Trinity Parish Hall, 119 S. Sparks St., in State College.
