Easter, Season of Hope Book Study
St. John of Rochester (Fairport)
Easter is the high point of the church year and the very heart of Christian hope, and yet sometimes we are tempted to simply move on once Easter Sunday is over. Easter, Season of Realized Hope invites us to linger a bit. Join the women who visit the tomb of Jesus in the early morning and encounter the risen Lord. Travel with the disciples walking to Emmaus and let your heart burn with recognition. Learn from Paul what a difference it makes that Christ is risen. Let your deepest hopes be realized.
Sessions will be: Thursdays, 4/24, 5/1, & 5/15 from 7:00-8:00 p.m.
A nominal fee of $5 to help defray the cost of the books for this study series is being asked for. Contact Rob Layer at robert.layer@dor.org or 585-248-5993 if you have questions.
