3 An Invitation... to embrace the Faith to celebrate Baptism to continue Jesus mission to return Home St. John the Evangelist Catholic Parish is ready to serve you! Adults seeking a meaningful, spiritual relationship with God and others are encouraged to embrace the Faith that Jesus gave to the Church through ongoing worship, prayer, faith formation, and community. If you are yearning to follow Jesus Christ and to join the members of His Body the Church, celebrate adult Baptism through the process called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Also, parishioners may welcome family and friends both the unbaptized or those who have been baptized in other Christian denominations to consider the graces of peace, hope, and joy that Our Lord offers us through His Gospel teachings, in the sacraments, and by way of works of mercy that continue the mission that Jesus entrusted to His Church. If you are seeking to return to your Catholic church home to be renewed and reconciled no matter how long you have been away consult the pastor to celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation and the pastoral staff to learn how to deepen and update faith as an adult. With heartfelt, supportive prayers, we assure you there is a place for you at St. John Parish! Please contact Sister Carol, Director of Adult Faith Formation, carolfssj@archbalt.org or x106, to ask about The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults: RCIA Adult Confirmation and Ongoing Faith Formation Prayer Life, Bible Study, Community Service

At every Mass, the Word of God is proclaimed through the Lectionary readings and sacred hymns. St. Jerome said: Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ. Because you have heard, studied, and prayed with Scripture, you can claim Romans 10:8 The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart. No doubt, you hear Scripture s influence in literature and in everyday talk, for example: Apple of one s eye Ps 17:8 A labor of love 1Thes 1:3 & Heb 6:10 Grapes of wrath Rev. 14:19+ Handwriting on the wall Dan 5 Lip service Mt 15:8 Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind Hosea 8:7 A little bird told me based on Eccl 10:20 Eat, drink, and be merry Eccl 8:15 & Is 22:13 THE BIBLE and YOU You may take steps to A new BIBLE STUDY group at SJE see parish bulletins & website for details choose study via a book of the Bible, online Scripture courses, DVDs, at-home study, SJE lending library books & CDs ADULT VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL: proposed for 9 to Noon in June review Bible Basics, make scripture foods, craft the sacred words, prepare for and pray with readings of weekend Mass.
