We are about to launch our second session in the discipleship small group studies. This session will be “My father’s Father”. It explores the deep Christian truth of God as Father by weaving together Fr. Dave Pivonka’s personal story (especially his relationship with his late father) and reflections on heavenly fatherhood. It is a deeply personal and healing series that invites us into a more intimate relationship with God the Father.
There will be four small groups to choose from as the series will be starting the week of April 13th and going through the week of May 18th:
* Monday Mornings – 9:30 am until 11 am (snacks provided)
