This Thursday: Attorney and Apologetics speaker, Mitch Ritchie, on Mystical Phenomena!

Hello Brothers and Sisters!

Well, we had a little mix up a few weeks ago, but back by popular demand, is attorney and apologetics speaker, Mr. Mitch Ritchie and the topic of the day will be Mystical Phenomena! Mitch currently helps to lead an apologetics class at Immaculate Conception along with Fr. Ed every Wednesday night. He has been speaking and teaching on various subjects in the realm of apologetics (defending the faith) for many years, including hosting a radio show geared toward the same.

Since Kohl's hall is not available on the first Thursday of the month, we will be meeting in Jordan Hall (Assumption Parish) with rosary starting at 7:00 and everything else kicking off around 7:30. So come out, come back, come as you are and bring a friend to share in the love and joy that the Father lavishes on YOU through the Body of Christ, His Church and know that you are treasured!

with love in Christ,

The Emmaus Core Team


See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God! And that is what we are! 1 John 3:1a

This Thurs. - Fr. Ed Teaching on the New Age

Hello dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

This Thursday at Emmaus we will have our spiritual director, Fr. Ed, teaching us about our Holy Mother Church's view on the New Age. Come on out and learn what subtle, yet very real, dangers the New Age presents and what we can do to defend our minds and hearts (and those of others) against these spiritual dangers. We will be meeting in Kohl's Hall at 7:30pm. If you can make it a little early at 7pm, we will be praying the rosary. God Bless your day!

This Thursday- Prayer and Fellowship!

Hello-

This week was supposed to be Mass but due to a vigil service the Church is no longer available, so.......we are going to meet at 7:00 pm to worship our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament chapel at Assumption Catholic Church (go in the side door near the rectory) for about a half hour and then go together to have some fellowship time at dinner somewhere. Invite a friend to come with and join us. Don't forget your rosary and your appetite! ;)

This Thurs.: St. Philomena

Hello brothers and sisters in Christ,

This week at Emmaus we will have Sean Smith talking with us about a "super cool" saint: Saint Philomena! She is one of the patron saints of Emmaus (you may remember the name from our petitions at the end of the rosary). She has a very interesting story. She was martyred at a very young age in the early fourth century, defending her purity and virginity against the Emperor Diocletian no less! She went unknown for centuries until the discovery of her tomb in the early 19th century and was canonized in 1837 based solely on miracles attributed to her! Come on out this Thursday (her feast day) to find out more about the "daughter of light." See you then!

This Thurs. - Surprises from Scripture

Hello brothers and sisters,

Pope Benedict XVI says that we should allow ourselves to be surprised by the Word of God. So, it is in that spirit that this week we will have one of our seminarians, David Keegan, leading us in Lectio Divina, or "Holy Reading." So come on out and see what our Lord has in store for us. Bring your bible! We will be meeting in Kohl's Hall at 7:30pm. Come a little early at 7pm and pray the rosary with us if you can!

God Bless,

The Emmaus Core Team (Jen, Adam, Emily, and Russ)
