Are you ready to turn away from the stresses of life and experience the life-giving word of God? This is not your normal "Bible Study", but a way to read, meditate, pray and contemplate the Scripture. Each week we will be using the Gospel reading of the next Sunday to explore Scripture in this manner. We will meet on Monday evenings beginning April 25th through May 23rd at 6:30 pm in the St. Christopher Parish Center. You do not have to attend every week to participate. All are welcome!!
