VNC to hold five-week course on John's words

One of the most intriguing writers in the Bible will be the subject of the program "Reflections on the Spirituality of John's Gospel," a five-week course beginning Oct. 1 at Victory Noll Center.

John shows how a deep interior life can be accompanied by a very acute awareness of what is going on around us. The simplicity of the fourth Gospel does not render it impersonal, but living and vibrant.

Leading the program is Sister Ruth Ellert of Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters. Ellert received her Master of Arts in religious studies from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX, and has trained catechists, directed RCIA programs, and conducted retreats. She studied the Gospel of John with Rev. Raymond Brown and attended a month-long retreat on the spirituality of John's Gospel with Sister Sandra Schneiders, IHM.

The program will be held Thursdays in October from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Victory Noll Center, located at 1900 W. Park Drive in Huntington. Dates for the program are Oct. 1, 8, 15, 22 and 19.

The registration deadline is Sept. 25.
