Bible Study~ This group lead by Father Combs meets each Thursday in the Activity Center. Currently, the focus of study is the upcoming lectionary readings.
Adult Christian Education ~ Beginning April 27, Cathy Crosby will lead a four-week introduction to Ignatian spirituality. St. Ignatius of Loyola was born in 1491 in Spain. The unlikeliest of saints, he left a legacy of prayer and spiritual practices that continue to transform others around the globe. In the next weeks, we’ll explore praying with and in scripture, Finding God in All Things, the Spiritual Exercises and the Examen prayer, Discernment and Decision-making - all based on Ignatius’ lived experience and his remarkable story of conversion. St. Ignatius’ feast day is celebrated July 31. Please join us for all of these learning opportunities!!!
