How about that? Do you possibly know someone wondering about their faith life and looking for a church? Maybe they went to church in their youth. Maybe they had no faith life. Maybe they are searching. Maybe they are simply not happy with where they are in their life. Our Lord could be the one who can satisfy their needs, their longings, their cares. Yes, maybe they are considering about where to go and how to get there.
Please give some “prayerful discernment” to your possibly inviting a family member, a friend, a co-worker, or a neighbor to our sessions that will be about one hour per week. There will be time for group sessions and for individual, personal meetings. Dcn Paul and Jeff Smale are leading the sessions. Questions? Feel free to give Dcn Paul a call at 248.891.9387 or an email at [email protected].
