MISSALETTES
Since missalettes are not coming back in the near future, there are alternatives that work just as well. There are easy to use apps that will give you all the readings for the Mass designed for your phone.
We recommend "Laudate" which is free. To install, go to your app store on your mobile device, and enter the name "Laudate" and then follow the instructions for download.
BIBLE STUDY
Tuesday Evening Bible Study (Bible Buddies with Barbara Berg)
Please join us — all are welcome!
There is no homework for this group, no required reading ahead of time, and no long-term commitment required (does it get any better than that?!). Feel free to come whenever you can.
We pray and study Scripture together in order to grow in our knowledge and love of Jesus.
We open our hearts to one another and to God’s Word so as to be transformed by His love and conformed to His Image.
In studying God’s Word and learning together, we strive to become doers of His Word and not hearers only (James 1:22).
We meet Tuesdays, 7-8:30 PM, on Zoom.
At this time we are studying the letters to the Hebrews.
For more information and for the Zoom link, email Barbara Berg.
