More About Our Ministry and Services
Life in the Spirit Seminar
The Seminar is commonly used by Catholic groups in the context
of renewal in the Roman Catholic Church. It is an instrument
for bringing people into a deeper experience of the work of the
Holy Spirit. The Seminar offers the basic presentation of the
Gospel and the basic teaching about what the Lord is willing
to do for all who come to Him. The Life in the Spirit Seminar
is available for everyone. It consists of 1 1/2 hour sessions
once a week for eight weeks. Sessions include: 1) Explanation
and sign-up; 2) God's Love; 3) Salvation; 4) The New Life; 5)
Receiving God's Gifts; 6) Making a Commitment to Christ and Prayer;
7) Growth; and 8) Transformation in Christ.
