8-WEEK FALL SERIES
Wednesdays, August 25-October 13
10:00-10:45 a.m.
Saint Pius X Athletic Fields
This new community life group will connect women of all ages through prayer and exercise. We will open each session with a short bible passage, prayer intentions, and discussion. We will then continue the session with a 30 minute cardio and body resistance toning workout led by a certified fitness instructor. No weights or equipment required.
What a great way to feel the presence of God and a support system through a group of both prayer and fitness warriors!
RSVP is encouraged for planning purposes. Sign up below!
A few notes:
Week 1: Intros and theme of Offering up our physical talents and abilities
Prayer for Children:
O God,
send your blessing on Your children through the Holy Spirit,
guide us to teach them well and to show them Your love
so that they may grow in Christian maturity and become
Christ's witnesses in the world.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ~Philippians 4: 6-7
Week 2: Trust in the Lord
A morning prayer from a St. Joseph Reflection Book:
The Lord Jesus Christ has given us the light of another day. In return we thank Him as we cry out:
Lord Bless us and bring us close to you.
You offered yourself in sacrifice for our sins,
- accept our intentions and our work today.
You bring us joy by the light of another day,
- let the morning star rise in our hearts.
Give us strength to be patient with those we meet today,
- and so imitate you.
Make us aware of your mercy this morning, Lord,
- and let your strength be our delight.
"Blessed are those who trust in the LORD; the LORD will be their trust. They are like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream: It does not fear heat when it comes, its leaves stay green; In the year of drought it shows no distress, but still produces fruit." ~Jeremiah 17:7-8
Week 3: The Blessed Mother, in honor of Her birthday
“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. ~ Luke 1:38
