The new curriculum encompasses EfM Classic, a 4-year program and EfM Wide Angle, a 1-year program that gives participants a taste of each of the classic 4 years. This self-study program has no tests, no quizzes. The groups meet once a week Fall through Spring. Open invitation to Advent parishioners to attend; participants must purchase their own book.
