During this Year of Eucharistic Revival, we are encouraging families to participate in reading this discussion guide over the six weeks of Lent.
Through rich but brief readings, profound discussion questions, group prayer prompts, and weekly guidance for deeper reflection and action, Transformed will guide your small group deeper into the life-changing power of God-with-us.
Books will be available in the Gathering Area the first weekend in February, or for pick-up in the Parish Office. Invite a friend, a spouse, your children, or a small group to do the 6 sessions with you.
Each book costs the parish $11. If you are able, we are asking for a donation of $10. If you cannot donate, please take a book anyway!

WHAT: In this 6 week Bible study, we will dive deep into the book of Colossians to better understand who Jesus is and what that means for us. We will learn how to abide in the wisdom of Christ to navigate the ever-increasing demands and messages of our culture, and what it means to live in the freedom of Christ and how to continually set our minds on Him.

Encountering the God Who Loves You
A Self-Lead Retreat
“All Christians are invited to a ‘renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ.’ Christ calls all people to himself in his Body, the Church, through the workings of the Holy Spirit, so that we can enter into a personal relationship with God the Father.”
