SPECIAL EVENTS
Women in Faith (WIF)
Tuesday, May 13 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm in Brooks Library
WIF is a group of St. John’s women who meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. We have a different topic each month, usually with some thought-provoking discussion questions to stimulate curiosity and creativity. And snacks!
Our topic in May will be "Pilgrims and Pilgrimages," where those who were able to participate in the Pilgrimage to Edinburgh, Scotland can share what we learned, as well as uncover what it means to be a pilgrim right at home.
In June we will talk about our Summer Reading Plans—what books and other reading material we hope to dive into for both spiritual growth and restful pleasure. Come with your recommendations! All women are welcome! Questions? Please contact womensgroup@stjohnsmclean.org.
