Our new series of sessions for Faith Sharing is underway and has been going great. The topic of our discussions has been the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Heavenly Virtues. Each week one member of the group shares on one of the seven deadly sins, then we explore the opposing virtue and investigate what Scripture and Church Traditon have to say about how we can learn and aquire the virtue needed to overcome the sin. We hope that you will join us and explore how you can progress in your walk with the Lord.
