John Kenny, · 10/10 Can One Person Make a Difference?—Fr. Jim Chelich, Saint Thomas the Apostle Parish · 10/17 Work: More Than a Paycheck?—Doug Wolford, Smiths Aerospace Koinonia is a Greek word, which means "community". Koinonia is a community of Christians who are striving to answer our late pontiff’s, John Paul II, plea for a new evangelization, that is, for us "to become more intelligent in our Catholic faith." Through prayer, Bible study, topic discussions, social time, and service, we hope to never stop growing in our faith, hope and love for Jesus, others, and ourselves. We gather every Tuesday at St. Thomas the Apostle Parish at 1449 Wilcox Park Dr, Grand Rapids. We meet on the 2nd floor of the Ministry Center at 7 PM for rosary; then at 7:30 PM on the 1st floor of the Ministry Center, we continue with introductions, praise and worship music, presentation, discussion, and social. All are welcome! Contact David and Amy Marchinda 454-6259. Fridays, Volleyball, Aquinas College, 6:30 pm…a few more weeks! Outdoor sand volleyball!!!
