-- NEW Bible Study --
Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist
This 3-part series explores the radical mystery of God’s love for us as He expresses it in the Eucharist. We will examine how Jesus is really present to help and strengthen us at every step of life’s journey. The Eucharist invites us into a deeper, more intimate union with God. Learn how this is possible! There is a 30-minute video, followed by discussion and questions. Classes are in the Church Library on Tuesdays:
May 1, May 8, and May 15 at 1:30pm. For more information, contact Carla: 952-472-8204 or  clabore@ourladyofthelake.com.
