Save the Dates! Spiritual Warfare Series
To teach us more about Spiritual Warfare Msgr. Barona will begin a four week series starting October 1, from 5:30- 6:30 Thursday evenings in the Church.
Do you ever think of yourself engaged in spiritual warfare? Often times those words bring up thoughts of exorcisms and heads turning around three hundred sixty degrees. However, in reality fighting temptation and living the gospel are themselves forms of spiritual warfare. Therefore, believe it or not we actually engage in this battle everyday.
Are there rules of spiritual warfare? Sure there are, in fact St. Paul has a famous passage where he describes the tools to fight this battle. He reminds us in the sixth chapter of his letter to the Ephesians that our battle is not against human forces, but against principalities and powers the evil spirits in regions above.
Ministry Leader Meeting
There will be a meeting for all those leading ministry groups at the parish on Saturday, September 26 at 10:00 in Marian Hall (and online). If you are a ministry leader and have not yet recieved an email about the meeting, contact Colleen Orchanian (adultformation@stfrancisblairsville.com) or leave a comment here.
