Small Faith-Sharing Groups at St. Charles 2007

February 21, 2006 is Ash Wednesday
and the beginning of Lent!

There's a variety of ways to participate in events and programs at the parish during our 40 days of preparation for Easter. One way to make this Lent meaningful is to journey each week of Lent with a group of folks to share faith and grow as Christians. Groups usually include time: Prayer | Faith sharing | Reflection

What folks have said about past Lenten small groups…

  • "I loved it; felt challenged in my faith, truly enjoyed the fellowship."
  • "It was such a wonderful way to feel closer to God. It was my first experience with a prayer group and has made me feel more motivated and spiritual."
  • "It was the kick-start that I needed to stop my spiritual slacking."

All materials will be provided. Groups are normally 6-10 folks and meet in homes or at the parish for 90 minutes each week. Registration will be assigned on a first come-first served basis. PLEASE only sign up for a group if you are able to make the commitment. If groups fill, new groups can be opened if new facilitators volunteer. Open your heart this Lent. To register: Please call or email the following information to the facilitator: Name, mailing address, email, day and evening phone numbers. If you have any questions, please contact: Michelle Miller 703-527-5500 x115 or adultfaith@stcharleschurch.org
