prayer and worship with members of the parish community. The retreat will be held Friday,

BOOK DISCUSSION - On Sunday, February 12th at 11:15 am, there will be a discussion of the book Will There Be
Faith? A New Vision for Educating and Growing Disciples written by Thomas H. Groome. Described as "a modern
manual for sharing a relevant, vibrant, enduring faith in the face of mounting obstacles," Professor Groome's book
is a hopeful road map for re-energizing the faith community and family from the bottom up. One reviewer
suggests this book is a plainspoken, story-saturated, practical guide which aims to “bring life to Faith and Faith to
life." lease join us in the Parish Center, 2nd Floor Living Room for the discussion of this book.
