This week St. Raphael's celebrates parishioner
Susan McFarland
who has completed her 4-year study in the Education for Ministry curriculum. Come join the celebration this Sunday, May 22 at the 10:00 service!
Education for Ministry, EFM for short, is a unique four-year distance learning certificate program in theological education based upon small-group study and practice. EfM helps the faithful encounter the breadth and depth of the Christian tradition and bring it into conversation with their experiences of the world as they study, worship, and engage in theological reflection together.

If you are interested in learning more about the program, talk with Susan - or Kathy Leson and John Rucker , both graduates of the program - or Jean+ (who is an active EFM mentor).

Could EFM be coming to St. Raphael's next season?

Pray with us for St. Raphael's and her mission ...

Loving God, through your grace guide us, the people of St. Raphael's, to joyfully carry out our mission of growing faith in your son, Jesus Christ. Fill us with your Holy Spirit that we may develop a living faith that deepens our understanding of you and strengthens our awareness of the needs of others. May we be a transforming light within our parish and within the community.  
All this we ask in the name of your Son, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  
Amen.
