Ministry and Continuing Education for Adults Because Our Faith is too Rich to have ever Learned it All…
Contact Heidi Clark, Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or [email protected] for more information.
Adult faith formation at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is centered around the understanding that living
“The Way” taught by Jesus Christ is a life-long, evolving journey, involving both effort and decision. To enable adults to explore the
faith and deepen their knowledge of God’s Word, we provide many opportunities to come together in a learning environment. As a
diverse community with a small parish feel, we know it is important to walk that journey with others and to share what we have
learned along the way.
Make your Good Marriage a Great Marriage! Teams of Our Lady
Information Night Teams of Our Lady is an international Catholic lay movement that fosters couple spirituality and a richer family life. A team is made up of five to seven couples whose marriages are recognized by the Catholic Church. They meet monthly, rotating between couples’ houses, to share a meal, prayer, and discussion. The first step to joining is attending an information meeting. The next one is set for Sunday evening, November 5, from 6:30-7:30 PM, in the Conference Room at St. Paul. Contact Heidi Clark at [email protected] or 281.333,3891, ext. 328 for more information. Child care is $5/child and can be arranged if reservations are made by Tuesday, October 31.
Bible Study for Seniors It’s not too late to join the Great Adventure Bible Study for older adults; this DVD-based study being led by Director of Adult Ministry Heidi Clark, began last week but is done in such a way that it’s perfectly okay to just drop in at any time. The group meets Thursday afternoons from 12:30 to 2 PM. There’s no charge to join but if you’d like to purchase a set of the study materials, the cost is $35.

Welcome to Youth Ministry “…dedicated to bringing teens into relationship with
Jesus Christ, and empowering young people to become disciples of Him in their everyday life through study of scripture, catechesis and service…”
Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so… get on your way! Dr. Seuss
We are more than half way through October and what a busy month so far.
We really enjoyed the Nassau Bay Fire Department visiting us on the 9th and 10th. They brought goody bags and hats for each child in the program, while allowing them to climb on the fire truck.
Our favorite part of October, Critter Carnival, will be in Founders Hall this year. The children dress up in costumes and we set up games and other activities for them to enjoy.
Do you like pizza? Back by popular demand, we are once again selling Little Caesar’s
pizza kits. These kits are awesome to have over the holidays. They taste amazing and the children have a good time on “make your own pizza” night. Look for them on sale in the Narthex. Coming soon!
Please come by and visit the ECP’s Snack Booth at The Out of This World Festival, Sunday, October 29. Don’t forget to sign up this week for the 5K Run,
Saturday, October 28 at 7 AM. Strollers are welcomed.

What’s the BIG IDEA now?
HOW DO WE GET TO KNOW
AND LOVE JESUS CHRIST?
ESSENTIAL QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How did the
Saints come to know and love Jesus Christ?
SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR CHILD… Children in THIRD GRADE begin to see prayer as not entirely centered on the self. They can pray for broad concerns and see connection between events. They enjoy ceremonies, rituals and symbolism as well as quiet and reflecting for short periods of time. They are capable of taking relatively complex prayers to heart. They respond to a sense of belonging.

¿Cuál es GRAN IDEA?
¿CÓMO PODEMOS LLEGAR A CONOCER Y AMAR A JESUCRISTO? PREGUNTA ESENCIAL DE LA SEMANA:
¿Cómo han llegado los Santos a conocer y amar a Jesucristo?
EL DESARROLLO ESPIRITUAL DE SU HIJO. . . Los niños en TERCER GRADO comienzan a ver la oración como no completamente centrado en el ser. Pueden orar por preocupaciones amplias y ver la conexión entre los
acontecimientos. Disfrutan de ceremonias, rituales y simbolismos, así como de silencio y reflexión por cortos períodos de tiempo. Son
capaces de tomar oraciones relativamente complejas al corazón. Responden a un sentido de pertenencia.
