Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. If you hold fast to the word I preached to you, you are being saved.

God Sex and Dating Wed. 9 –10 pm Burke Lounge

Many of us young adults are left hun-gry and unsatisfied by the ways that our media promotes mean-ingless, cheap, and superficial sex.

Dating" will be exploring a fresh new vision of the body as taught by Pope John Paul II on Wednesday nights at 9pm. We have a feeling that once you taste this, your dating life will take a drastic turn for the better. Questions ? Email: gsd.umass@gmail.com
