Holy Brews is a ministry geared towards the building up of community life and fellowship within the parish. Every first Wednesday of the month we come together at our local bar, the Ypsi Alehouse, to enjoy a drink and meal, while listening to an engaging talk by one of our guest speakers with Q&A afterwards.
RACHEL HERBECK
"THE KERYGMA"
Rachel Herbeck proclaims the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ, the foundation of our Faith. In today's world it can be easy to give in to hopelessness and despair, given our fallen nature and brokenness. Nevertheless, we should not lose heart— Jesus is with us and has saved us! Jesus is alive and so is his Word, which is a spiritual food that provides nourishment for our journey. The truth of Jesus' incarnation, death, and resurrection should be a reminder to us that death has been defeated by the King of the Universe out of love for us, even while we were still sinners. Rachel reminds us of this reality in her talk. Allow the Holy Spirit to touch your heart through the words that she so boldly speaks.
RALPH MARTIN
"THE FOUR LAST THINGS"
Renowned speaker, author, and president of Renewal Ministries, Ralph Martin speaks on the Four Last Things: Death, Judgement, Heaven, and Hell. In this talk he dives into these four realities, while drawing us into scripture to fully grasp the theological aspects and the Church's teachings on them.
