The Upper Room is the place the Apostles spent time during the passion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. The Last supper and washing of the disciples’ feet took place in the Upper Room the night before Jesus’ death. The disciples used the space as a home base during the 50 days following Easter. While in the Upper Room, they spent time discussing what they just experienced, they prayed together and finally they were given the gift of the Holy Spirit. They were then sent out unafraid to serve God and spread the Good News. With these Scriptures in mind, we were inspired to create a weekly event called Upper Room. Each Monday night and Tuesday night all are invited to join us as we dive deeper into what Jesus taught us, make time for prayer, have discussion and learn how to go out into the world to be disciples of Christ. There are two different types of programs as a part of Upper Room. One will be the Catholic basics and the other will go deeper into Catholic topics. Monday nights will go over the Basics of the Catholic Faith. All are invited to join us. If you are interested in becoming Catholic, then Monday nights is made with you in mind but all are welcome to join us. There is always so much we can continue to learn about our faith and our relationship with God. We will meet for 10 weeks from March 11 to June 3 leading up to Pentecost on June 9 when those interested in becoming Catholic will join the Church at Mass. Tuesday nights will go deeper into the faith. For 5 week from January 29 to February 26, we will take a Biblical Walk though the Mass. We are still finalizing the details on what we will do throughout Lent to continue to grow closer to God.
