Faith Enrichment Opportunities in Lent

Walking with Purpose Invites Women of All Ages to Join Us During Lent: Tuesday Mornings
Study God’s Word during Lent in a manner that brings spiritual growth and enrichment to all aspects of your life. No previous experience with the Bible is necessary.  Each lesson if necessary can be approached on a stand-alone basis. Our study of the Gospel of John, “Touching the Divine,” draws us into a deeper relationship with Jesus as we reflect on how much Christ loves us and how His love is the true satisfaction of our souls.  After participating in WWP, a majority of women report that their prayer life has improved, their relationship with Christ and their Catholic faith are stronger, and their appreciation for the sacraments has grown. Meetings will be Tuesday mornings from 8:45 to 10:30 on the lower level on the Parish Center from March 5th through April 2nd.
Small group discussions follow coffee, refreshments and socializing.   Course materials will be provided at no charge for the Lenten sessions. Please contact Gail Battle: gail.m.battle@gmail.com for more info.
