Cocoa Tonight, Creche Tomorrow 

12/13/2016

 
Tuesday (12/13) a few of us are gathering to “staff” a fraternity offering of support and cocoa for students on day 2 of finals.  Deb, Laura and Art will be there.  It runs 6-8:30pm. If anyone is available and would like to simply socialize with us / others we welcome you.  For Wednesday’s gathering Paul has put together a formation piece on the crèche.  It will extend to its origin and explore its meaning then and now. 
 
Reminder – any interested in purchasing a copy of the new initial formation guide, which has fantastic ongoing formation material as well, then bring cash/check (~$21).  Art will bring the book again to review.
