In fact\, this liturgical season is all about waiting – not for a short-lived celebration\, but for a person. \nWaiting does not need to be passive. It can be active preparation\, offering a beautiful opportunity to open the door of your heart to welcome Jesus into every part of your life. \nThis Advent\, join Fr. Mike Schmitz as he shows you how to invite Christ in and share his lasting peace with Waiting Well\, a prayer study. \nStarting November 18th and running through December 16th every Wednesday from 10-11:30 am or 6-7:30 pm. \nPlease register by October 14th. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n [/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://thegoodnewscenter.org/event/waiting-well-advent-prayer-study-2/2026-12-16/ CATEGORIES:Bible Study,Events,Relationship Programs,Spiritual Enrichment,Spiritual Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thegoodnewscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Waiting-Well.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
