Faith Formation Volunteers Update:<br />
We are in need of two Volunteers…<br />
1st grade Catechist. These classes are only held on the<br />
first Wednesday of each month.<br />
7th grade Assistant. The main Catechist is sometimes on<br />
call for his job and so we need someone who, if he had to<br />
leave, would already be there, know the kids, and keep<br />
things going. Unlike the classes of younger kids, this<br />
class meets every Wednesday (with exceptions for<br />
holidays). If you can help, please contact Brantly<br />
Millegan.<br />

A <strong>St</strong>udy on the Bible Book<br />
of James<br />
<strong>St</strong>arting Next week!<br />
James is one of the most practical books<br />
of the Bible. Like the book of Proverbs, it is<br />
a book of wisdom, a collection of teachings<br />
on issues faced by ordinary Christians in<br />
everyday life. These teachings speak<br />
loudly to all those who feel torn between<br />
the competing demands of this world and their faith.<br />
We have two times available (come to only one):<br />
Sunday evenings, 7pm-9pm (starting <strong>January</strong> 16)<br />
Thursday mornings, 9am-11am (starting <strong>January</strong> 20)<br />
* Cost of <strong>St</strong>udy is $23.00 for price of materials<br />
Both dates to be held at the Education Center. Participants<br />
will meet in a large group for the presentation via DVD, and<br />
then in small groups for discussions.<br />

several people in our community, some from assisted living<br />
centers, that would like to participate in the full Mass at our<br />
church each weekend but do not have transportation.<br />

less fortunate or are in great need of a ride, please call<br />
