THE LIFE IN THE SPIRIT SEMINAR “Renew in our day, O Lord, your wonders as in a new Pentecost” Pope John Paul II

The Life in the Spirit Seminar is used by groups in the context of renewal in the Catholic Church. It is an instrument for bringing people into a deeper experience of the work of the Holy Spirit. The Life in the Spirit Seminar will be offered at Saint Joseph in Marist Hall on: Thursday, January 29, 2015—7:00 PM to 9:00 PM Friday, January 30, 2015—7:00 PM to 9:00 PM Saturday, January 31, 2015—9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Our space is limited so reservations will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. Please contact Tina Harding (770)422-5633 x24 or [email protected] to reserve your spot. The Life in the Spirit Seminar is available for everyone. The Seminar provides a way to learn more about living in the Spirit. In the Seminar you can take steps which will allow Jesus Christ to establish, restore, or deepen a relationship with you. For Catholics who have experienced the sacramental graces, Jesus will give you a new and fuller relationship with himself. The gift of the Spirit fills our whole life and changes us so that we begin to know and experience God’s love and the abundant life Jesus spoke of.
