To honor the October 4th  feast day  of St. Francis of Assisi and Francis' love of creation, Deacon Jerry will explore the teaching of Pope Benedict XV on the environment.  The presentation will focus on selections from the Pope's  2010 World Day of Peace message as well as his 2009 encyclical, Caritas in Veritate.  Please join us to honor Francis' love of creation as we learn to better love and protect all that God has created.

St. Francis of Assisi is often quoted as saying "Preach the gospel always, if necessary use words."  

Stewardship of time and talent  is one of the ways we, as individuals and as a community, preach the gospel without words.  Don't miss the opportunity to learn more about the many ways you can contribute your time and talent in one or more of the many ministries at Spirit of Christ.  Be sure to visit the Ministry Fair
