Walking with Purpose
Starts Sept. 12 at 6:30pm
All women in the parish are invited to this new season of Walking with Purpose for the study, “Beholding Your King.” Our self-centered culture can leave us feeling empty and dissatisfied. A full view of God and His glory is the perfect antidote, as experienced in Beholding Your King. We will study King David, the Psalms, and many Old Testament prophets, seeing the ways they all point to the coming of the King of Kings, Jesus Christ.
That Man is You: Apostles of the New Springtime
New season starts Sept. 13!
Meets every Friday at 6:00am
For 13 weeks, starting Friday September 13 we will cover:
- The victory of Jesus Christ over sin and death itself.
- The five Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary.
- The lives of the Apostles as clear and compelling evidence of the Resurrection and proofs of Pentecost.
- The faith and witness of the Apostolic Fathers, those direct successors of the Apostles.
- The struggle, toil, hesitation and eventually the transformation of St. Augustine.
- How this call to sainthood and apostleship continues throughout the ages to our very day.
- A new springtime of Christianity and encounter the same Spirit that was poured out at Pentecost!
- Your own calling and your personal mission.
We begin with a light breakfast at 6:00 am (optional Rosary at 5:30). All men are invited—no need to sign up.
Questions? Call Scott Danitz (720) 234-4208.
