This ministry was established in 2013 with the understanding that faith formation does not stop at Confirmation nor in early adulthood, but instead is a worthy lifelong journey.

With that in mind we bring to the community many activities to help each of us expand our relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

2019 Little Rock Scripture Study at St. Joseph’s
If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to become more passionate in prayer, please join us for an in-depth study of the Book of Psalms.  The Little Rock Scripture Study has been a part of the St. Joseph’s Adult Enrichment program for several years.  The first selected study for 2019 covers 28 Psalms.  This study has 7 sessions, incorporating an introductory session and 6 lessons, beginning on Thursday February 28^th and taking us through Lent.  The registration fee of $20 covers the cost of the study guide and CD wrap-up lecture.
Please register in the parish office by February 7th.
The Book of the Psalms is a unique collection of the song-prayers of Israel. To study Psalms is to study prayer, ultimately to enter into prayer. The study will challenge participants to reflect on their own prayer and life experiences. Psalms I focuses on a selection of twenty-eight psalms divided into three categories:

• Psalms of Descriptive Praise
• Psalms of Trust or Confidence
• Wisdom Psalms

“Psalms of descriptive praise, also known as hymns, praise God for his ongoing, regular care of the world and humanity”. Psalms of trust or confidence reinforce the belief that the God who made and loves us will protect us in difficult situations. Wisdom psalms are an acknowledgment of God's justice in the right ordering of human affairs.

February 28^th, we meet in Room 256 at 8:00 PM for 30 minute Introductory Session, give out commentary and study guide.
