Church On Fire Conference Sept. 28-30

"As fire transforms into itself everything it touches so the Holy Spirit transforms into Divine life whatever is subjected to its power."
—Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1127
Amarillo—A Church on Fire Conference, sponsored by the diocesan Respect Life Ministries office, will be offered Thursday, Sept. 28 through Saturday, Sept. 30 in Monsignor DiBenedetto Hall at St. Hyacinth Church, 4500 West Hills Trail.
 
Presenting the conference from the John Paul II Healing Center will be Bart Schuchts. He has been involved in ministry for more than 28 years and has vast experience across the Body of Christ.
 
“Following a desperate plea while in an NFL locker room nearly 30 years, Bart Schuchts encountered the Father’s love,” said Stephanie Frausto of the Respect Life Ministries office. “His passion has remained the same since—to love and please God in all that he does and to impart that love to many.
 
“God is calling His Church to be who He created Her to be—a Church on Fire with His love and presence. Come and be a part of the abundant life Jesus promised.”
 
The conference will begin Sept. 28 with registration from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. Presentations are scheduled Sept. 28 and Sept. 29 from 7:00 to 9:00 both evenings and on Sept. 30 from 10:00am to 1:00pm.
