Could you be called to help?
Do you have a love of the faith and a passion for our young people in the Church? Why not consider serving as a small group leader or Catechist? No experience is needed… just a willingness to say “yes” to Christ’s call to go and make disciples of all the nations (Mt. 28:19). Contact Stephanie (smoss@stelizabethchurchmd.org) to find out how you may be able to share your gifts of time and talent to serve God and our community!

WE NEED VIRTUS TRAINED VOLUNTEERS
Are you a volunteer at St. Elizabeth’s? Would you be willing to become Virtus certified? We need VIRTUS-trained volunteers. And now is the best time to become one, because the ADW training sessions are totally online and St. Elizabeth’s will pay for it!

Children’s Liturgy of the Word Update
“Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’”-Matthew 19:14. The start of Children’s Liturgy of the Word is currently being postponed due to the current situation and lack of space to offer the ministry during Mass. We look forward to when we will be able to offer Children’s Liturgy once more and we love seeing you and your family at Mass!
Walking with Purpose—Women’s Bible Study
We would like to welcome women of the parish to join us this Fall for our next Walking with Purpose Bible Study, Discovering Our Dignity. Women of the Old and New Testaments were as flawed and broken as we can be, yet the power of God worked in their lives. Learn from their experiences in Discovering Our Dignity, a 22-lesson Bible study. Through their stories recorded in Scripture, women of the Bible reach out to touch our “present” in a tender, honest and loving way -- woman to woman -- with ancient wisdom, sage advice, and insights from sorrowful failures and emotional wounds.
