DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS ARE? - Have you heard about Charisms, but not fully understood what they are? On Monday September 9, Mike Iverson, Discipleship Director of Spiritus, will present a Spiritual Gifts/Charism from 9-3PM at the Sister Bay site. Lunch will be provided. Charisms, or spiritual gifts, are special abilities given to all Christians by the Holy Spirit meant to be used to build up the body of Christ. Whether extraordinary or ordinary, all charisms ought to be exercised in the service of God. As we are all disciples, the Faith Formation committee felt it was important to offer this special retreat. RSVP’s are needed for this event so that adequate material and lunch and snacks can be provided. Please contact Jan Liss with any questions you may have at 920-839-2630 or Click Here and RSVP to Jan or any Faith Formation committee members: Sharon Brabson, Lori Carlson, Deacon Duderstadt, Lee Levoy, Angela Packard.
