much fruit. The disciple must then be a good steward of that
abundance.

Would you like to spend some time studying the
Theology of Grace, or examining the Gospel of
Luke? Or perhaps you would like to learn more
about Capital Vices, or Faith & Belief in the 21st
Century or Celebrating Liturgy with Children?
If you are interested in any of these topics, perhaps you would like to join with our faith community as we explore the answers.
BEGINNING EXPERIENCE
What if the worst thing you think could happen does
and you are widowed, separated or divorced? What if life
changes in the blink of an eye? How do you cope? How do
you deal with the grief, loss and pain? What do you politely
tell those well-meaning people in your life who want to help
you cope and start over? It’s not easy. It’s never easy. The
truth is that no one has to suffer alone. It can be good again..
Very good. Beginning Experience can help —just give us
one weekend. You will meet people who have gone through
the same things you are going through. They know how you
feel because they have felt it and lived through it. They will
share with you how they came to terms with their loss and
how they’ve moved forward. Most importantly, they will
listen.
Please join us for a weekend that will help you to
move forward. Upcoming weekend dates: September 1820th. For more information call: Mary (516) 413-6209; John
(516) 822-0635; Jean (631) 903-0973 or Jim (718) 474-3779.

seeking a Master’s Degree, or those not looking to pursue a
