Need a Calendar?
This Monday through Sunday weekly calendar is the one I use, building the week up to the weekend.
Print it as a booklet (so on both sides).
Give a holler if you hit a snag.

ETC 2 Share the Faith
ETC 2 Share the Faith Books
(Experience, Tradition, Culture)
arearranged for six gatherings of a group of ten or so
for growing in faith exploring the intersections of
- individual personal experience and history,
- the faith tradition, including sacred scripture, church teachings and history, and
- the culture in which we live our faith.
Each ETC 2 Share the FAith Book provides
- a suggested traditional Christian song,
- scripture passages to be read aloud while group members follow in their own bibles,
- narrative exploring a theme and/or the scripture passages,
- questions to assist reflection and discussion in the group,
- and a closing prayer.
Most groups meet for 60 or 90 minutes weekly for six weeks.
All ETC 2 Share the Faith titles are also designed with the individual seeker-learner in mind.
Rainbow Prayer books
Rainbow Prayer Books draw heavily on
- the monastic traditions of praying the psalms,
- the lectio divina way of praying with sacred scriptures (lek-see-oh div-'ee-nuh),
- and the spiritual exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola,
all designed for an individual's time with God,
respecting the basic question for spiritual direction:
LORD, how do you want me to be alone with you?
idjc: Integrating Disciple of Jesus Christ
Dear Friends,
After 22 years in parishes, like every parish priest I know, it was and continues to be an honor as a baptzed follower of Jesus to see written on people's faces the desire to draw closer to God.
What a blessing it continues to be to share the faith wherever life takes us. Whether in a small parish, in a big ol' church, or in a living room or cafe, the Lord calls us into groups of faithful, and where even two or three (or more) are gathered, there he is in our midst (Mt 18:20). Hearing and telling faith stories and listening to the Lord in private prayer are key to maturing in faith.
Thank you for considering these titles for wherever you are called to share the faith and in your personal relationship with God.
All God's blessings,
Steve Wolf
