You have a choice this Advent: Get caught up in the annual rush of shopping, decorating, and parties, or slow down and take a few minutes each day to remember who this season is really about — Jesus. Kathy Sheehan will be leading a small faith sharing group at St. Bartholomew Church on Monday evenings, November 15-December 20, at 6:30 p.m. Explore the book Adore by popular author and speaker Fr. John Burns. This book will help you reclaim the sacred sense of longing and joyful hope at the heart of Advent. Focus on a new theme each week—vigilance, preparation, nearness, and Emmanuel—that you can relate to your own life. Nine books are available for purchase through the Faith Formation office. The book is also available through The Abbey Bookstore and Ave Maria Press. Contact Michelle Valcourt (883-0334 x228) to join the group.
