Introduction to TAEHS with Fr. Jim

Introduction to Taehs with Fr. Jim Clark
LEARNING TO STUDY AND PRAY WITH THE BIBLE
DECEMBER 3 & 10, 9AM | WE MEET IN SEAN’S PLACE
The Bible can seem like a distant book – distant in time, culture, and language. Our Saint Barnabas curriculum, The Art of Engaging Holy Scripture (taehs), attempts to bridge this distance through a lively and dynamic method of reading and study, prayer, and sharing in a small group. The dynamism of taehs immediately engages both beginners and experienced Bible readers.
On two Sundays, December 3 and 10 at 9AM in Sean’s Place (signs will help you find it), Father Jim will conduct an introduction to the taehs curriculum. Following this introduction, participants will be invited to join a taehs small group in January. If you are interested in learning about our curriculum, or if you want a fresh start with taehs, please join us!

Seeing With the Eyes of Your Heart
2017-03-25 09:00 - 16:30
In this one-day retreat, with his gentle persuasion and contagious humor, Fr. Meninger shares stories from many spiritual traditions, which illustrate that as one draws closer to God, one finds love for the entire world. Each story offers us hope that a life of faith and prayer can expand our experience and understanding of our own divinity, and the divinity of all.
Our retreat will include two periods of Centering Prayer and an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Saint Barnabas campus, gardens, and labyrinth.
Registration is now closed.

Saint Barnabas has agreed to provide volunteers on Monday, July 25 from 3:15 to 7:30pm to assist these children in selecting their new clothes. The distribution is extremely well organized and we need only 18 volunteers to help.
