ADULT BIBLE STUDY BEGINS
Join us and invite a friend to the Monday evening Bible Study held at St. Joseph Parish Center. The New Testament is neither a biography nor a history of the life of Jesus. It is much more. It is about how the interaction between Jesus and the men and women of His times changed them and challenges us. This book focuses on the New Testament, who they were, what they did, and how we can be inspired and challenged because of them. We also ask that you please bring your Bible. We start at 7:30 pm & end at 9:00 pm. Please send a note to registration to Edith Connell. Call the parish office for her contact information.937-323-7523.

DO YOU WISH TO KNOW MORE ABOUT GOD AND HIS CHURCH?
Do you feel you still look at religion through the eyes of a teenager (the last time most of us had any religious education)? Do you just want some fellowship and a good cup of coffee? Well, now is your chance! Once again we will have Adult Fellowship and Catholic Education at St. Raphael’s, from 9:30 am - 10:30 am Sunday mornings. This year we will focus on the Catholic Catechism and we promise to make the classes both interesting and informative. So if you never had the time or energy to read this great document, let us be your guide! We will hit the high points with plenty of time for discussion. All adults are welcome so please feel free to stop by for coffee, doughnuts and religion while you kids are in class. Babysitting is available in the room next to ours. If you have any questions contact Dave Collins, Deacon Norm or Patty Larger.

ST. JOSEPH/ST. RAPHAEL PRAISE TEAM & BAND
Our souls cry out in praise of our God. If we are to live abundantly we need to praise God for all He has done for us. We do that in our liturgies and we are called to do it in our world. Many times we have a need to raise our voices in song and play beautiful music. We have so many talented people in our parishes. Our praise team would have an up-tempo energy. If you have a talent and want to use it in joy for the Lord, call Deacon Norm at 937-323-7523.
