BIBLE STUDY/SMALL FAITH GROUPS
Staff Contact: Linda Smith
There are a variety of opportunities for one to gather with a small group of people interested who meet for prayer, reflection, and study of sacred scripture. We have two bible study groups, one that meets on Fridays at the Parish Office Building at 1:30 pm. This group meets from September through May. The second bible study group meets on the first Tuesday of the month at the homes of parishioners. These two groups utilize the "Quest" series for small groups.
Care Group, our small community of faith, meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the Parish Office Building. This group discusses the readings from Sunday's Liturgy and related passages from Scripture.
Special groups are formed during the seasons of Lent and Advent as a way of enriching your spiritual journey during these special times of the liturgical year. All are welcome to join these groups. Please call the Parish Office for more information.
