SUMMARY:Holy Brew: What's Brewing in Your Life? (Sept.)
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, Sept. 12\, Oct. 3 & Nov. 7\,  6:30-8pm \nWith Fr. Michael Hennessy\, CSP \nMeeting at Peppino’s Sports Grille (130 Ionia Avenue SW\, Grand Rapids\, MI 49503) \n Being a young adult today – 20s and 30s\, single or married – comes with many important (if not challenging) questions… \nHow do I make the important decisions in a world of so many choices? \n\nHow can I find stability in my life when I get a new job – or a new city to live in – every few years?\nHow can I meet new people and create new friendships while sustaining the relationships I already have?\nWhat are the responsibilities I have to my family when I am living my own life?\nHow do I navigate the complicated world of social media and technology?\nWhat is the difference between being alone and being lonely?\n\nThe good news is that we don’t have to come up with these answers on our own! \nAt Holy Brew we come together one Thursday a month over a meal and a pint to talk through these topics. As Catholics\, we believe our church’s tradition and teaching can guide us through this formative time of our life. When we share our own experiences and listen to the journeys of other young adults\, we trust that the Holy Spirit speaks to our hearts and gives us the strength to life authentic Christian lives. So\, bring a friend\, or come on your own and we’ll set you up at a table with other young adults. \nGive Now by Selecting Quick Give or pay at class.  \n[gravityform id=”3″ title=”true” description=”true” ajax=”true” field_values=”program_title=Holy Brew (Sept.)”] \n
