Want to be a part of something special at our parish? We are launching an initiative called Discipleship Small Groups beginning this Lent. We are joining 18 other parishes and the Missionary Discipleship Office from the Diocese of Green Bay in an effort to form and grow discipleship, including yours.
The program featured for Lent is called “The Search”. This video series examines some of the basic questions of life that often go overlooked in the busyness of life like, “Why am I here” and “Where am I going.” Following the video, we will break into small groups led by trained small group leaders utilizing materials designed to foster good discussion within the group.
There will be four small groups to choose from as the series will be starting the week of February 2nd and going through the week of March 23rd:
* Monday Mornings – 9:30 am until 11 am (snacks provided)
* Tuesday Mornings – 9:00 am until 10:30 am (snacks provided)
* Tuesday Evenings – 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm (meal provided)
* Wednesday Mornings – 9:00 am until 10:30 am (snacks provided)
If you would like to learn more about this initiative or sign up for one of our groups, click here to fill out the google form. You may also contact the parish office at (920) 788-9061.
