It was written by Catholic speaker and Relevant Radio "Life Coach" Dave Durand. Centered on the Sacrament of Reconciliation, "The Fountain of Youth is a real-talk, down-to-earth conversation about what it means to be human, what holiness looks like in a fallen world, and how to leave behind the baggage and rise again. We will read one chapter per week and discuss it together in small groups. Bottomless cups of coffee are provided! Don't miss this opportunity to grow in your faith while growing in fraternity with other Brothers in Christ! Questions? Text or call Nathaniel O'Dell at 574-933-4576.

The parables of Jesus are designed to shake us up, to shock, confront, provoke, and indict us. Each parable works differently, and each must be studied separately to determine its significance, how it functions, and how it calls its readers to respond. Explore a variety of parables in this new Threshold Bible Study offering—each empowering us to think, teach, and act like Jesus did, to accept his new vision of the world, and to participate wholeheartedly in the new life he offers. We meet every Tuesday morning, 9-10:30am, and Wednesday evening, 7-8:30pm, beginning January 14 & 15. The study’s fee is $10 per person. To register, visit smgonline.org/bible-study.
