Does your mind wander at Mass? Do you get in the car after Mass and can't remember the Gospel reading? Join us on Monday evenings at 6:30 pm starting September 26th through October 24th at St. Christopher Parish Center to learn the art of Lectio Divina. Lectio Divina helps us communicate with God through meditating and reading Scripture and embeds it in our hearts. We will be studying the Gospel reading for the following Sunday in class. Meetings are no pressure, nor prior experience.
Beginning October 1st, our Thrift Store will be open on Thursdays from 11am--4pm and Saturdays from10am--2pm. Donations will be accepted on Saturdays only.
