Adults

If you would like to receive periodic emails about upcoming Adult Faith Formation programs, click here!

Each one of us is called to holiness, to become like Jesus. As Catholics we believe that this journey is life-long and culminates in us one day becoming saints.  At St. Michael we offer a wide variety of opportunities for adults to grow in knowledge and love of the Lord and community with fellow believers.

Alpha Returns to St. Michael! 
(And meets The Wild Goose) 

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question about faith and is designed to create conversation. It's fun, relaxed, free. There's no follow-up or pressure to join our church or any other church. Alpha is run around the world. We enjoy dinner together, watch fabulous videos, and have table discussions. ALL are welcome.

When: Wednesday  evenings, September 4 through November 20
               Plus a half-day retreat, date TBD.
Where: St. Michael Fellowship Hall (Church basement - enter under the canopy)
Who:     Everyone - cradle Catholics, converts, those with lots of questions, those who don't know Jesus but want to know more about him, those raised in other faith traditions or no faith tradition
How much: It's free - it will only cost you your time!

Who to Invite: Anyone who seems even a tiny-bit interested in faith - they get a free dinner, how could they say no?

Childcare is available - and we'll take care of dinner for the children, too. (Yep - you're reading it right - it's an adult night out, free dinner for you, free dinner for the kids, what's to lose?)

Try it out. You can join in anytime and come when you can. Hope to see you Wednesdays this fall! 
Questions? Contact Laura Castner or call the office (517-627-8493).

Would you like to join the team? Next meeting is June 26 at 6:30 in the Fellowship Hall. Join us! Contact Laura if you have questions. 

The Wild Goose - Wondering what we've got going for those who completed Alpha last year? We'll gather on Wednesday nights with the Alpha participants for dinner, then go into the church for a video and dicussion series on the Holy Spirit - you may have seen it advertised through the diocese. It's called The Wild Goose! 

Sign up for Alpha and/or The Wild Goose to the left or call or visit the office.

New Men's Faith Group: Crossing the Goal

We’re starting a men’s faith group that will begin by exploring Christian virtues. We’ll use a book by Danny Abramowicz, former NFL receiver, and well-known Catholic authors Peter Herbeck and Curtis Martin: Crossing the Goal: Playbook on Virtues. It frames each virtue in an NFL format: pre-game, kickoff, game plan, halftime, and red zone. The group will meet Thursdays, September 12 – November 7, from 6:30 to 7:45 pm. Please contact Laura for more information or register by calling or visiting the office. The cost for the Crossing the Goal book is $10.
