Fall Homily Series "The Kingdom of God"
/ALL ARE WELCOME!
St Francis de Sales Fall Homily Series
SMALL GROUP COMMUNITIES !
Thank you for a great kickoff to our Kingdom of God Small Group Homily Series. Sorry about the technical issue last night. I will make sure we can show a video with sound by next week. Thank you for your flexibility.
It was great to see so many people eager to meet in small group to discuss this homily series.
As we look ahead - the gatherings will include:
Introduction
Witness Talk (either in person or viewing a pre-recorded video)
Recap of the homily (or rewatching the homily)
Reading the Gospel out loud in small group
Discussion about anything that you decide is relevant, using the list of discussion topics and questions as you wish.
We are always open to new people joining us and can start new groups as we continue to grow.
If you hear from someone who is interested but unable to join in the meeting options we are offering, please connect them with Pam Lynch. This series is designed to be accessible anywhere and for anyone. All the resources will be available on the website (soon).
PS - The evening is scheduled for 7:00 - 8:00pm but as we meet and as you discuss in small groups, of course, you can choose to continue past 8:00pm.
Small Groups will meet on September 20 - October 18th

OR a group is meeting on Thursday 7:00 - 8:00
