Women in Faith (WIF)

Tuesday, April 8 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm in Brooks Library

WIF is a group of St. John’s women who meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. We have a different topic each month, usually with some thought-provoking discussion questions to stimulate curiosity and creativity. And snacks! In April our topic will be “Rituals and Why we Love Them.” The seasons of Lent and Easter are filled with rituals that have either been given to us by the church or we have developed on our own, and they deepen and enhance our faith. This meeting will give us an opportunity to share the rituals we love best and why, as well as explore the history of some of the more well-known rituals of the season. All women are welcome! Questions? Please contact womensgroup@stjohnsmclean.org.
