Forming Intentional Disciples is a book that helps to answer the question: How can I come to know Jesus personally? Followed by: What does that do for me and the Church? If a person understands the answers to these questions for themselves, then they can start to see answers to all the other questions they have about the Church. Questions such as "why don't more people come to Mass?" or "Why doesn't the Church evangelize more?" This study will be the start to a new understanding of where the Church is today, and what it means to be a member of the Catholic Church. The study is six sessions long with time in between sessions to read, pray, and ponder what you read and discuss. Each in person session functions so that everyone has done the reading prior to the session and the session can be focused on discussion of the ideas. Please come to session one with chapters 1 and 2 read if possible.
Dates: All dates are Wednesdays and sessions go from 6:30-8PM in the Parish Library. You do not have to be able to attend every session to be able to participate. Sept 11 Sept 25 Oct 9 Oct 23 Nov 6 Nov 20 Dec 4
Cost: Books can be purchased from the parish for a free will donation. Books cost the parish $20 per book. You can also purchase copies of the book off of amazon as well. (Forming Intentional Disciples by Sherry Wendell)
