Don’t forget the Intercessory Prayer Group that gathers for prayer each Wednesday night at 7:30 pm.


The Wisdom Circle will next meet on Monday, Jan 21 at  7:30 pm.  Our next resource is Foreskin’s Lament by Shalom Auslander, a magazine writer who describes his Orthodox Jewish upbringing as theological abuse in this sardonic, twitchy memoir that waits for the other shoe to drop from on high.  We strongly encourage you to also have read Memories of God as a good introduction to what the Circle is about.  Both books are available through St. A’s Amazon store on the this website.


Common Threads, St. A’s knitting group, will meet next on Saturday, Jan 19 from 12:30 to 3 pm.  Place to be determined.  For more information, contact Allen Finley.


We’re in Deep Shift. As Lent approaches, we’re offering a short adult education series on “Everything Must Change” by Brian McLaren using short films (5 minutes or less) from the author.  The films focus on the ways the church and its practitioners domesticate Jesus and lose the story of the faith.  Brian D. McLaren is considered one of the most innovative Christian leaders, thinkers, and activists in the US.  He’ll be speaking in Washington, DC this March.


Current Art Gallery exhibit: Paintings Abstract and Figurative by our very own Katherine Kurtz.  This exhibit explores the formal issues in painting: the division of space, the abstract qualities of shapes, the richness of color fields, and the mutability of perspective.  Click here for details.

3 Projects This Year!


To sign up for any of these project add your name to the signup sheet on the bulletin boards in the tower entrance or contact Mary Scherf, Outreach Team Chair.


Building improvements at Education Works headquarters.

10-15 people needed to work alongside some of their students to continue physical improvements to the space. There will be two murals in the day care rooms to paint.  This is a good project for the adult artists among us as well as for Rite 13/J2A aged youth and their families.  Work may also include cleaning, wall painting, possibly light carpentry.


Teenage Pen Pals

5 people needed to work in sessions with high school students and continue in an on-going pen-pal relationship with a student.  This is an Education Works project that includes a morning workshop at Germantown High School.  The ongoing relationship is intended to be something a less than a full mentoring relationship.  This might be ideal for a retiree.


Kids Carnival at Germantown High School

This project is family friendly for children aged 5-12, but requires special registration.  If you’re family is interested in this particular project, contact Mary Scherf directly and she will get the specific registration information to you.

Welcome to St. Asaph’s on the Web! 


St. Asaph’s Church is a progressive and inclusive Christian community.  We offer the message of Christianity to those who sometimes find organized religion ineffectual, irrelevant, or repressive. We see our faith as an agent of justice and peace. We are a community that embraces search, not certainty. We believe faith is a process, not a destination.

Explore your faith in a place that’s as open minded as you are.

Check out the Bala House Montessori School that is affiliated with St. Asaph’s and operates on our campus!
