Holy Innocents' Episcopal Church
Beach Haven, Long Beach Island, NJ

Adult Education at Holy Innocents' takes many forms, though three are most often observed:

The first and most enduring is Adult Study Group, which meets each Tuesday morning at 8am in The Bethlehem Chapel. The day begins with a consideration of the coming Sunday's lectionary readings; the discussion inevitably springs from these lessons to include the questions and wonderments of those present about many things, whether they bear directly on the lectionary readings or not.

The second is Rector's Reading Group. This is a Summertime activity in which our Rector publishes a reading list at the beginning of the Summer, and then meets regularly with those interested in talking about the books.

The third adult education opportunity is Wednesdays-in-Lent. These are informal covered dish suppers followed by a topical program. Parish clergy usually lead these, though other persons may be asked from time to time to lead these gatherings as well. They always conclude with night prayers.
