Looking to grow deeper in your faith this summer alongside other Catholic men? We’re forming a Summer Bible Study for men in their 20s–40s! Together, we’ll reflect on the upcoming Sunday readings and Gospel through a mix of Lectio Divina, discussion, and Bible study. Whether you’ve studied Scripture for years or are just getting started, all are welcome. Dates/times will be finalized soon (we will meet on Monday or Thursday evenings). Interested? Sign up at sjwsp.org/mens-summer-bible-study or contact Brandon at [email protected] for more info.WOMEN’S SUMMER BIBLE STUDY
Tuesdays (Next dates: July 28; August 4 & 11)
Beginning at 7pm · Rosary Room (inside the Great Room)
Women in their 20s–40s are invited to join us as we journey through the Gospel of John. We’ll follow the stories of Mary Magdalene, John the Beloved, and Mary, the Mother of God, as we encounter the life of Christ through one of the most poetic and beautiful books of Scripture. If you’re looking for an intentional way to meet other women from the parish, a way to enter more deeply into Scripture, or even a place that is for you to be filled, we invite you to come. Feel free to invite a friend, Catholic or otherwise! We’ll gather with plans to meet outside whenever possible (bring your own chair if you have one). Nursing infants welcome!
