NEWS BEGINNING WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 5:30PM-7:00PM "FAITHFUL - Christmas Through The Eyes of JOSEPH" This is a four-week long Advent Study/Journey toward a greater understanding of Joseph, the man God chose to be the earthly father of Jesus Christ. The Study considers Joseph from a variety of perspectives: as a carpenter, his ancestry, the needs of all God's children, and to learn more about Joseph and his family's journey to Bethlehem, exploring how God is present with us when we face journeys that are challenging or difficult. The evenings begin with a potluck supper from 5:30pm-6:00pm followed by the study sessions. The book "FAITHFUL - Christmas Through The Eyes of Joseph" is available online at www.abbingtonpress.com or at www.cokesbury.com. Please plan to join us for this special Advent journey of faith.
