Sunday Dec. 4th 7:00PM – 8:30 PM – Church
“Preparing the Way” John will help us discover/determine what is preventing us from fully walking with God (The Way), fully entering into the call as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ and as Catholics in our current state of life.
Monday Dec. 6th 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM – Church
“Knowing the Way” John will continue to help us understand what we were made for and how that is connected to our current state in life. We will also learn that the “more” is ultimately Love, specifically in the person of Jesus Christ, who is God’s Love made manifest for us!
Tuesday Dec. 7th 7:00 PM – 8:30PM – Church
“Living the Way” How do we fulfill the call as the chosen few to lead others toward God in our homes, in our work place and in the world? Looking to our Blessed Mother as the model, this talk will help the participants discover the power of discernment, prayer and practical methods on how to identify the calling we each have as missionary disciples.
All evenings are geared towards the entire family. However, parents and grandparents are always so surprised to hear how their children and especially teenagers seem to get so much out of all John’s presentation. We encourage you to attend and attend all three (3) nights. Please bring a bible to follow scripture readings.
*Each night there is a Free-Will Offering in support of John Sablan and his great work.
