Preparing for the Kingdom |
|

November 30 marks the beginning of the new Church Year. As Advent begins, Christians are asked to contemplate the coming of Christ into the world at Christmas and what the gift of Christ means.
To mark this coming, St. Jude’s Adult Christian Formation program will be sponsoring a two-week workshop entitled “Preparing for the Kingdom: An Advent Reflection.” The course will be offered on Thursday, December 4 and 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the parish chapel. Fr. Christopher Hofer will be the instructor.
The course will focus upon John the Baptist’s cry to “Prepare the way of the Lord!” The course is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the parish office at 516.221.2505 or email at

 Imagine a church of radical hospitality. A welcoming congregation filled with people from all walks of life and all ages who are seeking meaning and purpose in their lives.
Imagine a church with vibrant worship, exciting music, inviting fellowship opportunities and top-notch educational programs that are rooted in our common beliefs and expressed with respect for our different paths of lives.
Imagine a church that seeks to proclaim God's justice, love and mercy for all of God's people, to live out the good news of God's realm for all and to be a healing sign that, even in our differences, we are one in Christ.
Here at The Church of St. Jude in Wantagh, NY, we have built that church. |
