Hello Rescue Project Attendees!
I pray this email finds you well and still delighting in the fire of divine love that The Rescue Project helped to stir within all of us. This communication is a what’s next follow-up. Here goes!
If you would be interested in continuing to meet with a small group, please let us know by signing up here:
There has been some interest in offering the Rescue Project in some creative ways such as a small group meeting once a month in the rectory, another small group meeting every other week in someone’s home, another weekly group meeting in the Rainbow Room. If you would be interested in helping put on the Rescue Project in some capacity, please let us know. Some attendees have pointed out that the sessions could be shorter and less labor intensive and not feature a full meal, this could be an option, so please let us know if you’re interested.
The Parish is about to start hosting Corpus Christi Movie Nights for the next four Fridays out on the lawn behind the convent and we’d love to have you come and mingle with our neighbors, share the love of Jesus with them, offer them prayer and invite them to Church. Family Fun starts at 7pm with the movie starting at 8:30pm. Bring a chair or a blanket.
If the Rescue Project stirred a fire in you for Jesus and the Gospel, we’d love to share with you a phenomenal way to be taught, equipped, and activated in the power of the Holy Spirit to share the Gospel more effectively in your sphere of influence. Encounter School of Ministry is a powerful two-year, one night a week, very affordable ministry school that has been growing rapidly and having a global impact on the Church. The main campus for the Encounter School of Ministry is located in Brighton, Michigan but there is also a wonderful online campus as well.

God bless you all!

Eucharistic Adoration
The Eucharist is being exposed on the altar in church on the following schedule: Tuesdays: 6:00pm – 8:30pm
[Note: that’s a usual time for our neighborhood
Evangelization efforts so prayer support is appreciated!]
Thursdays: 9:15am – 12:15pm
[Note: Holy Hour for Priestly Vocations from 9:15am – 10:15am]
One of the greatest treasures of the Catholic faith is the Eucharist. Ever since the Last Supper, the Catholic Church has believed that the Eucharist is truly the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. You are invited to come and spend time in adoration with Jesus at Corpus Christi as we begin to offer these new time slots for adoration. Ideally, we will have two people in the church before Jesus whenever adoration happens. On our parish website you will see two slots for each time. Please know that if the slot is filled there will still be plenty of room in church for you!
