Come discover, uncover, and learn about your Spiritual Gifts
Join us on October 18 th and 19 th for a town-wide Spiritual Gifts Retreat. This is a time the Lord has set aside for you to uncover and learn about the gifts of the Holy Spirit -- the same gifts poured out on the Disciples at Pentecost, nearly 2000 years ago and the very same gifts the Holy Spirit continues to pour out on us today.
Who among us would receive a gift and put it aside without opening it? St. Paul tells us we have all received a spiritual gift, a way that the Holy Spirit works through us in our daily lives and yet, most of us have never opened our gift to see what it is. Why not take time out of your busy life to uncover the spiritual gifts God has given you? What a joy! We will journey together through Scripture, the Catechism, and the writings of Pope Francis as we learn about the Holy Spirit's mission to pour out spiritual gifts that help us grow spiritually and help us support and serve the people in our lives.
Don’t miss this Spiritual Gifts Retreat! It will be a time that will heighten your awareness of God’s presence and involvement in your daily life and in the lives of others. It will be a time that will change what you say and do, how you speak, how you serve others throughout your day. You will learn how those with the spiritual gift of hospitality bring food to a family and while they are preparing the food they are often praying for the family. You will learn how those with the spiritual gift of intercession, ask friends if they need prayers, pray for them and even follow-up with more prayers. So many other gifts.
If you are new to Ave Maria, have been out of the church for a while, or simply have a desire to learn more about your gifts, join us for this interactive time of discovery! The retreat will be held at the Donahue Academy 6:30-8:30 PM Friday, October 18 th, and 10:00AM to 3:00 PM Saturday, October 19th. For more information, contact averetreat(at)gmail.com. Register by October 11 at www.avemaria.cc. All are welcome! Come learn about your spiritual gifts!
