SMALL FAITH GROUPS - EASTER 180 SERIES
Jesus came into this world to restore and transform the world that had been corrupted by sin. He primarily came to restore and transform human beings and in changing individual hearts, transform the world. In Christ, we are new creations and so if we stay connected to Christ, we will experience life change. In this series we will look at some of the change we can expect to experience.
Before the Resurrection of Jesus, the apostles were too scared to stand with Jesus. Afterwards they became bold witnesses of the Gospel. God wants to transform our fear into boldness and courage. In this series we will look at how God changes fearful people into courageous people.
Please join one of our many Small Faith Groups and be transformed as Christ transformed the hearts and minds of so many. Our Small Faith Groups will encourage us to lean into our feelings and to take each circumstance as a chance to learn more about God, grow in our faith and forge new friendships.
Groups begin meeting week of May 4. When you sign up, you will be able to select the best meeting time for you – day of the week and time – and online or in person. HERE or contact Kathleen Staunton KathleenS@stastm.org

How will I benefit from Bible Study?
Bible study is not just a “nice to do” exercise – rather, it is a transformative experience that will touch every aspect of your life. For one evening a week, and 10 minutes a day, you will deepen your relationship with God and receive everything good that flows from that. As Catholics, we rarely study the Bible as a cohesive whole. This course will allow you to open the treasure chest of your faith – and better understand how the readings during mass fit into God’s salvation plan for all of us.
Whether you are brand new to Bible study or highly experienced, come spend time and fellowship with your spiritual community this fall. Invest in yourself – you won’t regret it.
Do I have time for Bible Study?
YES, you will have the time. Obviously you get out what you put into any activity. The course is designed to have some daily readings and a robust video lecture and group discussion once a week. As long as you can make one of the two weekly sessions offered, you have the time.
