ADULT MINISTRY Carolyn Nolan (cnolan@stpeter-libertytown.org )

Marriage Tip Have you ever had to feed a large crowd? Perhaps more guests came than you planned. Yes, plan ahead, but when circumstances surprise you, take what you have, give thanks, and offer it. It will be enough. Don’t fight with your spouse over who didn’t plan enough.

Visit: www.foryourmarriage.org Baptism Prep Classes - meets on Tuesday, August 21st , from 7 – 9 pm in the Birch Library. You need only one godparent and this person must be Catholic; to have celebrated Confirmation; is at least 16 years of age, and is practicing the faith (attending mass each week and celebrating the sacraments.) RCIA – The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults – the process by which adults are formed in the Catholic way of life – will begin weekly instructional classes on August 14 at 7 p.m. in the Church. RCIA prepares the participant for the sacraments of Baptism (if needed), Confirmation and Eucharist. We look forward to answering any questions you may have about becoming Catholic. Contact Carolyn at 301-898-5111 x 14 for more information. Bible Study – We begin our fall study with Psalms – The School of Prayer – a 10 week DVD study. Our commu-nication with God is enhanced by a deeper understanding of the book of Psalms and of the individual psalms that reside in each of our hearts. See the flier in today’s bulletin for more information.
