Lenten Longings: Small Group Faith Journey

Dear Friends,

This Lent, a Scripture study program that will be offered in all three parishes. Lent begins this year on Ash Wednesday, February 18th. “Lenten Longings” is a weekly small group Bible Study from RENEW based on the weekly Sunday readings of Lent.

The program is an excellent opportunity to share your faith with other parishioners and spiritually prepare for Easter. If you are interested in participating, please email Lisa Vogel at [email protected]. The new deadline to sign-up is this Monday, February 16th . The first small group meetings should begin that week to prepare for the First Sunday of Lent, February 22nd.

However, with the bad weather we are behind our time so groups have the flexibility of meeting whenever they are able. Please sign-up as soon as possible so that and we can order booklets and notify you regarding a small group that meets at your desired date and time.

If you already meet with a small faith group or would like to form your own group, you are welcome to do so. Please contact Lisa Vogel in the parish office as soon as possible. The gatherings can take place, as available, on the parish properties or in your own homes. We will need leaders for each group, but the program is very user friendly and leading the gatherings will be super easy.

Each participant will receive a free guide book but we will accept free will donations to help defray the cost of the program. Please consider participating I guarantee it will be time well spent!

Today Saint Paul reminds us of our future, “What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him.” What a Happy thought!

Peace and Blessings,

Father Chris
