Scripture Study: Explore the upcoming Sunday readings each Wednesday at noon while enjoying your own bag lunch with fellow parishioners in room 145.

February 10 at 1:00pm or 6:30pm in Room 144 Fundamentals of the Faith: A Love That Lasts

There now seems to be a free-for-all idea of “love”—personally decided and self-centered—that often leads to heartbreak and unhappiness. Is that what God intends when he is called “Love” by the writers of the New Testament? What does it mean when we talk about love—and God’s calling for us to love him and those around us?
