Join us on Fridays at 10:00 AM beginning December 2nd or Tuesdays at 7:00 PM beginning December 6th for our book study and explore how one can fight despair and remain generous, hopeful, and tender. Do I Stay Christian? addresses in public the powerful question that surprising numbers of people are asking in private. In this book, McLaren combines the experiences of many to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity. There is a way to say both yes and no to the question of staying Christian by shifting the focus from whether we stay Christian to how we stay human. All are welcome to join us! Pick up a hard or digital copy of the book from your favorite retailer. Call our office at 293-0088 or email [email protected] to sign up and get your invitation to the Zoom meeting.

Advent is fast approaching and Youth Ministries is beginning to prepare to present Journey to Bethlehem, once again.  However, we can't put on this highly anticipated event without YOU! We are in need of actors and volunteers to help us complete the journey by filling the following roles: Marketplace Shopkeepers (several families needed), Shepherds (1 family needed), Angels (several needed), Innkeepers (2 couples needed), Holy Family (1 couple with a baby needed), Tribal Guides (several needed). Journey to Bethlehem will be on Saturday, December 10th from 6:30 PM -8:30 PM. Set-up and rehearsal will be on Saturday, December 10th from 10am - 2pm. You are not required to attend rehearsal unless you'd like to personally set-up your area and run through your lines.  Otherwise, you can just show up at 5:00 p.m. to select your costume (everything fits right over the clothes you arrive in), attend Mass, and then get into your position afterwards. If you are interested in joining the fun and participating in this awesome event, please email Claire at [email protected] no later than Sunday, December 4th. Thank you for helping to make this year's event a success! Sincerely in Christ, Claire Parrulli-Lowther Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries
