Again this session, we will be using the Little Rock Scripture Study program. Each class includes prayer, group discussion about the week's reading and commentary, and a video. This session, we will be doing an intermediate study of the book of Genesis.

Next Session: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 Presenter: Rev. Dominic Grassi Signs and Symbols: What Makes our Church Unique? The Catholic Church is rich with signs and symbols that help us on our life journeys to find the presence of our loving God. Some we have experienced in special ways like the Sacraments. Some are unique to our Catholic tradition. Some can be found in other faith traditions. And still others are part of the richness of God's creation around us. How can they help us to make sense out of our lives? How can they help us? How can we use them? Fr. Grassi is pastor at St. Gertrude’s in Chicago & is the author of six books including the Bumping Into God series. All meetings are held on Wednesdays through August 7th 7:00 p.m. at Crown Brewing Company 211 S. East Street in Crown Point. The entire parish is invited to attend!
