We are finishing up our study of the Mass. In January Faith Sharing is going to become more dynamic with the new series Growing Closer to Christ. No Faith Sharing Documents in this series, in fact you will be actively involved in each study. So come prepared you may wind up doing an activity or watching a video...Lots of variation.

There has been interest in having the group go to different parishes once a month together. We would like to start doing this. If you have an interest in hosting this monthly ABCYA event please call me or e mail at gerry@abcya.org. We will have a meal together afterward at a nearby restaurant.

This month we extend birthday greetings to: David Z. 13th, Joe H. 20th, Christine O. 22nd, Shelly E. 23rd, Christine M. 29th, and Susan F. 30th. During this season of joy, as you contemplate the wonder of our Savior's birth, may you be renewed in faith, hope, and love.

Due to the Christmas and New Years Holiday the group has decided that we will not have Bible Study on 12/22 or 12/29. We will begin Faith Sharing again on January 5 2012 with the annual Epiphany party at my house (720 Shields St. Bethlehem PA) Traditionally, Catholics celebrate 12 days of the Christmas season with parties and other gatherings culminating on the evening of Epiphany.
Each year we celebrate this evening by having a party on the evening of the Epiphany. Guests will arrive at 7 pm and we will have a meal followed by the crowning of the monarch. Other games and festivities will follow.
Then in January, be ready for a more interactive and exciting Faith Sharing experience Growing Closer to Christ.
