Education for Ministry
Cathedral of St. John
August 22, 2011 - May 31, 2012
Are you interested in an in depth study in a small group where theological reflection connecting scripture and tradition to our everyday lives happens every week?.
EFM is a four-year program from the School of Theology, University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, with studies in Old and New Testament, Church History, and Contemporary Theologies and Liturgies providing a foundation for our own faith development and ministries. EFM is not designed for a graduate degree or ordination but gives the opportunity to study materials from Episcopal seminaries.
Each year includes 34 weeks of study and worship in a seminar setting with no more than twelve persons and a mentor. The seminar sessions also include Theological Reflection which teaches us to explore our questions and lives and express our faith in day-to-day events while looking at the sources of Scripture, Tradition, Culture and Issues, Life Experiences and our own personal Positions.
There are currently two EFM groups in Albuquerque. The Tuesday evening seminar group will begin on September 6 and meets through May of 2012 at S. John’s from 5:30—8:00 pm. Co-Mentors are Sally Blackstad and Nancy Hoing. A second group, will be mentored by Cheri Winter begins August 22 at St. Mark’s. For more information on enrollment and the program, please contact either Sally (268-4198, scblackstad@aol.com) or Cheri (449-8140) to receive a prospectus.

Snow Slam 2012!
Santa Fe
February 18 - 20, 2012
The Rio Grande Youth Task Force invites all our 6th-12th graders to find your way to Santa Fe for a weekend of play, music, prayer and snow (hopefully). Climb (or descend) the mountain to grow in fellowship and faith with youth from around the diocese. Sunday at Snow Slam is usually a day on the mountain: as in the past you can ski or snowboard, or learn to ski or snowboard at Ski Santa Fe.
New this year is an option to enjoy a crazy Scavenger Hunt game in Santa Fe. Registration forms available on our website (click here), from Jane and on the bulletin board.
Registration fee is $100 per person, but does not include ski/snowboard costs. Details are available on the registration form. We will need a couple of drivers to take and pick up (Jane is helping to lead the event so she needs to go early and stay late). Come out and play in Santa Fe!
