Hops and Holiness: A Gathering for Young Adults

Thursday, November 14, 2019

7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Chris Haddad

Life is filled with challenges that test us, and sometimes, unfortunately, we fail. Each of those challenges and failures can be a gift, though, if we are open to seeing the opportunity they present. In our pursuit of real joy and purpose in this world, the path is almost always through, not around, the challenges and failures we encounter.

Offering: $15


Hops and Holiness at Holy Family

Are you looking for a relaxed environment in which to explore your faith? Come join a group of vibrant young adults aged 21-35 seeking to build community around their faith. We will have a different speaker each evening talking on topics relevant to young adults. There will be time for socializing, listening to the speaker’s presentation, and asking questions of the speaker. Sign up for one or more evenings and feel free to bring beer or wine. Light refreshments and non-alcoholic beverages will be served. All are welcome.

Additional dates January 9, March 12, May 14, 2020.

This program is co-sponsored with Crossfire Young Adult group, founded at St. Thomas the Apostle, West Hartford, CT.
