Walking with a Purpose: Seven Priorities that Make Life Work
Lisa Brenninkmeyer understands how it feels when life is stuck on the spin cycle. As a mother of seven, she knows we don’t just need to be told what kind of women we should be. We need some help getting there.
Drawing from her own experience of balancing marriage, motherhood, and work inside and outside the home, Lisa helps you uncover the key to living a busy life with inner calm. What’s the secret? Identifying key priorities, and doing first what matters most.
With humor and wisdom, Lisa will help you:
Stop striving and rest in God’s unconditional love.
– Experience new hope in your marriage.
– Reach your child’s heart.
– Create clarity in a cluttered home.
– Find friendships that go below the surface and satisfy.
– Discover your passion and purpose.
Once in awhile, things may seem as if they’re under control, but we want to walk with purpose regardless of our circumstances. God wants us to daily experience the joy and contentment that comes from knowing we have given our all to what he considers most important. The abundant and purposeful life we were created to live is just around the corner.
Are you searching for meaning in your life and wondering what path God has in mind for you? If you are asking these questions or questions like them, the Catholic way of life awaits you. Join Holy Family’s Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults program, or RCIA. RCIA is a process through which non-baptized men and women enter the Catholic Church. Adults from other faith traditions and those baptized Catholic but not raised Catholic are also welcome. The program will begin this month.
You are cordially invited to join us this Sunday for The Celebration of Life Prayer Service at Holy Family Catholic Church.
