Wade in 1973.

Understanding God
Virtually all people in our parish will say they believe in God. But what do we mean by "God"? With atheism on the rise, and so many people leaving the Faith, it's important to get clear about who God is and why he matters. These five once-weekly short video lessons, offered through Word on Fire ENGAGE, will help.
The first debuts January 20. Only those who sign up for this series will receive the eMails. Click the button to join.
