Coffee and Catechism “For what can be known about God is evident…because God made it evident. Ever since the creation of the world, God’s invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood…” Romans 1:19-20 Throughout history, to the present moment, religious beliefs and practices express the human search for God. As creatures made in God’s image and likeness, each one of us has been given a mind to search for the truth and a heart that longs for unconditional, forgiving love. As parents, we are the primary educators of our children in the school of life and faith. How will we be able to help fill their hearts with the Faith we treasure if our own Faith has not been attended to? In this gentle small group, coffee + questions, answers and friendship will lead to lively and informative sessions. Using the Study Guide for the United States Adult Catholic Catechism, this small group is designed to enrich your understanding of the Faith. Each of us is on a journey through life, and whether we acknowledge this or not, “Our hearts are restless, until they rest in God.” (St. Augustine) Co-coordinators: Ed Reilly 301 855-7937; Bob and Sue Baczynski 443 550 3317 and Judy Allison 410 257 3810 x11. Divine Mercy The EADM emphasizes and promotes the concept that the Divine Mercy message
is more than a devotion: It is a Way of Life. We encourage all to pray
the Divine Mercy Chaplet daily and pray for a deeper trust in God. Completion
of the study of the Cenacle Formation Manual entitles participants to become
Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy. Divine Mercy Devotion Description: This group schedules and coordinates the various devotions to the Divine Mercy of Jesus by following the documentation in the "Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul." It leads the Divine Mercy Chaplet a couple times a week. This ministry provides the necessary pamphlets, music, order materials for members of the community and coordinates the Divine Mercy Sunday preparations. It also coordinates the bulletin announcements, prepares fliers, posters and handouts. Time Requirements: Meetings as needed to facilitate necessary coordination
either in person or conference calls. Little Rock Small Group Scripture Study Description: A deeper understanding of the Bible leads to personal transformation of attitudes, values, priorities, and actions. When we reflect seriously on the Word of God we should expect to be changed. Individual passages or readings from the Church’s Lectionary (Mass readings) can also be more fully appreciated by studying the context from which they have been excerpted. Time Requirement: Small groups meet every Tuesday from 7:15 – 9:15 p.m. in the 8th grade classroom. Before the meeting, participants will want to prepare through personal study (using a Bible, Study Commentary and Study Guide) and prayer. Part of the weekly meeting will involve hospitality and a wrap-up lecture by our own Rob Hartley. Information: MOMS GROUP II Mom’s Group II provides an opportunity for those away from home during the day and therefore not able to attend the day time mom’s group to share and learn from one another, make new friends and become more secure in their roles as parents (and, maybe enrich their own spiritual lives as well). The group is a wonderful source of support and bonding with other Mom’s. The group will decide together resource materials. Meets every other Sunday from

Introduction to Centering Prayer Spring 08, Sunday Mornings Scripture, when read the right way, opens doors to a direct relationship with God. However, we generally read the Bible to get religious information, to get “right answers” and to confirm our own ideas about God. We often force the Bible to conform to our own views rather than allowing the Bible to form us into God’s people. The practice of Sacred Reading is a living conversation between you and God. Using the prayer practice of listening through silence,(part one), we will use Scripture- the word of God, to hear how God speaks here and now through The Word. Coordinators:Kathy Chow 410 741-5041 pkchow@comcast.net, Matt Goyette 410 867-7658 INSPIRING CATHOLIC CDs Do you long to devote more time to enriching your Faith?
