In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.

SEPT 8

GRIEFSHARE

A new session of GriefShare began Monday, September 8th from 1:30pm-3:00pm in the Formation Center. The group size is limited to 12. If you would like to participate or would like more information on Grief Share, please contact Fr. Brian through the church office.

"A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way."

ST CHRISTOPHER LITTLE FOOD PANTRY FALL WISH LIST

Our pantry stock is MEDIUM

Our Little Free Pantry provides immediate, emergency assistance with basic food and basic needs on a 24/7 “take what you need, give what you can" basis. Unlike local food pantries with pickup hours and paperwork, our pantry makes it easy for people to get what they need when they need it without questions or embarrassment. St. Christopher's pantry is highly utilized which as soon as food is put in it is quickly going out. The needs are great and we have many community members also stocking our pantry when they are able. As the seasons change so does some of our pantry needs. Our Fall Wish List includes Canned Soup/Stews, Canned Meats/Fish, Boxed Cereal, Powdered/Shelf Stable Milk, Drink Mixes (powdered lemonade, tea, coffee, Kool-Aid), Rice, Etc. If you are able to donate there is a collection bin located near the Formation Center and the entrance to Buckner Hall. Click here for a sugguested shopping list.

ST. CHRISTOPHER ART STUDIO

Revisiting and Applying a Christian Character of Humility

A Reading and Discussion Series, Classroom 4, October 5, 12, 19
10:10am

Mother Viktoria+, Guiding

Dennis R. Edwards, New Testament scholar and author of Humility Illuminated: The Biblical Path Back to Christian Character writes, “The health and witness of the church urgently depend on recovering an essential biblical virtue: humility […] As we learn from and honor the humble instead of the power-hungry, humility paradoxically empowers God's people […]” His writings “…issue a compelling challenge to the church,” advancing that “Biblical humility is not a tactic, and it's not just ‘being nice.’ It's a revolutionary path to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.”

This class will include readings from Dr. Edwards’ works, “…tracing the theme throughout Scripture,” and demonstrating, “how true humility is grounded in submission to God and becomes manifest in all areas of life” playing a role in “Christian community, conflict, leadership, suffering, worship, and stewardship,” illustrating, “humility as a, if not the, distinctive identity marker of followers of Jesus.” This class will include readings from Andrew Murray’s classic, Humility: A Path to Holiness, Thomas a’ Kempis’, Humility and Elevation to the Mind of God, and others.
