Saturday, October 18th 9:00am–2:30pm Ministry Fair
Musings: Discovering God in the Neighborhood
Diocesan event being held at St. Paul’s WRJ, at the Parish Hall starting at 9am Sat Oct 18th.
Assuming God is already present and at work in the midst of us, this year’s ministry fair theme is going “on the hunt” to discover the Divine Surprises where God’s mission is at work around us --- Places, experiences and opportunities that surround us all the time but do not look, feel, sound or smell like what we expect when we think of “mission.” God’s fingerprints might well be hidden in plain sight!
