A Faith Study for Young Adults* During Lent… Way better than the same old diet. This is a 6-week small group lesson everyone who joins

will receive a par!cipa!on packet. Where there are

short ques!ons that are designed to guide you with a

be"er understanding of your rela!onship with the Lord

and help you see Jesus for who he truly is.

In the Discovery faith study Series, the first four lessons

of this study introduce the basic concept of the Chris!an

faith. In the fi$h lesson, Par!cipants are invited to make

a commitment to Christ. The sixth Lesson aims to help

them be"er grasp that commitment. It is for those who

wish to seek a rela!onship with Jesus and those who

would like to learn how to evangelize and break down

the Gospel in a simpler way and relate it to their own

life.

Lesson 1 - Gods Love

God knows and loves us personally.

Lesson 2- Love's Ini!a!ve

The Father takes the ini!a!ve to reconcile our rela!on-

ship with Him.

Lesson 3- Jesus Christ- Our Lord

Jesus of Nazareth is truly God.

Lesson 4- Jesus Christ - Our Savior

Jesus saves us from our sins through his passion, death

and resurrec!on.

Lesson 5- The Universal Call- Personally Yours

We are invited to receive the gi" of salva!on and live a

new rela!onship with God.

Lesson 6- Going from Here

A rela!onship with God if not an achievement of perfec-

!on. it is rather the context in which we receive God's

help and mercy in our daily lives.

*Young Adults 18-30’s

On Wednesdays during the season of lent at the minis-

try center at 6:30

These series are set up for small groups. The groups con-

sist of 8 par!cipants please sign up soon before they fill

up.

Please email our young adult coordinator Mary Kortright

set up, angels and shepherds and our entire parish for their gen-

erosity and outpouring of grace at this time of year. The social

Respect Life

The family is set at the very center of common good in its various

dimensions, precisely because man is conceived and born in it.

Everything possible must be done in order that this human being

may be desired, awaited, experienced as a particular, unique and

unrepeatable value, right from the beginning, from the moment of

his/her conception. He must feel that he/she is important, use-

ful, dear and of great value, even if infirm or handicapped: even

dearer in fact for this reason.

(Pope John Paul II)

Happy New Year from Youth In Ministry!
