St. Dunstan's is committed
to deepening faith through study as well as through
worship and experience. There are a number of educational
opportunities throughout the week and during the year.
In addition to adult programs,
Children's Chapel and Sunday School are offered for
children through eighth grade, beginning at 10:00 a.m.
each Sunday morning. (The class for nine- to eleven-year-olds
has its own web page, which
you are welcome to visit.)
During the week there are a variety of Bible Study
groups that meet both at church and in parishioners'
homes.
During the year there is an Advent
Workshop and a weeknight Lenten Series. St. Dunstan's
also offers a Beginner's class to those
new to our parish, and perhaps to the Episcopal Church. While
the confirmation program (classes and mentoring) is
usually filled with youth, the learning opportunity
is available to everyone.
There is a program during the parish
retreat at Shrine Mont in the Virginia Blue Ridge mountains
each September. The program varies from year to year,
and we offer choices of activities. Our schedule includes
a group program for the adults, supervised activities
for the children, and fun time for everyone.
We appreciate our proximity to Virginia
Theological Seminary and take advantage of their resources. We
also welcome teaching by members of the parish. We
recently offered parenting classes for caregivers of
young children and another class for parents of teens.
