Join us in November as we explore the lives of saints, those who so closely followed Jesus that they remind us of him. In this study we will encounter saints who sought justice, cared for the sick, proclaimed the good news, and put the words of Jesus into practice. We will learn about a diverse group of saints including Ignatius of Loyola, Fannie Lou Hamer, Jarena Lee, and Fred Rogers.
