Men and Women Are from Eden
Started Tuesday, February 12, 2008, 7 - 8:30 PM
The desire for love touches on the very core of our identity as human beings.  If we want to discover the real meaning of man and woman, and the reasons why we relate to one another as we do, we must probe what God has revealed about our ultimate origins.  Only by understanding and living according to that original plan can we find the answer to our searching and have a restored hope for relationships of deep, authentic love.  The secret of man and woman is found not on different planets, but in the biblical account of the first couple, created by God and placed in the garden of Paradise at the dawn of human history.  Men and women are from Eden!  This 8 week study group is open to all adult men and women, married, engaged, or single.

The Gospel of Life
Started February 21, 2008
The Gospel of Life is one of the most important documents written by His Holiness John Paul II. In it, the Pope explores the dramatic struggle currently taking place between the “culture of life” and the “culture of death.” Our study will explore the Gospel’s challenge to honor the sacred value and inviolability of human life, and to refuse forms of permissiveness that trample human rights. The next session is on Thursday, March 27, from 7:00-8:30 PM, in the upper conference room. For additional information, contact Kay Schachte.
