Greetings Lambs,

What You Missed:

Our Tuesday night groups have almost finished the audio tapes on ‘Building Healthy Adult Relationships’ by Earnie Larson. We’ve learned much on how to grow healthy relationships and enjoyed spirited talks. We will continue to work with one last tape on Dec 5th and Dec 12th. We did a drawing for a Gift Exchange which will take place in our last Dec meeting, on the 19th, which will be for fellowship and comparing what we’ve learned.

On Sat Nov 18th we held our monthly Singles Feast and used the time together to also plan more coming events. We had so many interesting suggestions they carried us beyond December as far as February, including a Singles trip in the Spring. Brief descriptions are posted below and on our calendar.

On Sunday Nov 19th at 9 AM, Father Lance did a presentation on ‘The Spirituality of Singularity’ It was a very good talk and gave us a good introduction to our new Bible Study group that Fr. Lance will be leading.

Our Bible/Life study sessions begin on Dec 9th, 11:00 AM in our church library, using ‘Bible for Dummies’ . We will also be covering questions from singles, on whatever has been a concern for you, whether it’s from the Bible or a church/religion tradition. We will have ongoing meetings on the 2nd and 4th Sat mornings, led by Father Lance Robbins, followed by lunch at a local restaurant, or we’ll brown bag it. You need to reserve in advance, for $12. for the cost of the book and other materials, for as often as you can attend, –through June , when our discussion meetings end.
