09/01/2004 Most of us have wondered about our existence at one time or another.  "What on earth am I here for?"  is a common question among us.  a California pastor named Rick Warren has written a popular and inciteful new book entitled  The Purpose Driven Life which attempts to help us understand why we are alive and God's amazing plans for us, both here and now and for eternity.  This will be the subject for our fall adult education program beginning September 12.  Discussion leaders will be Dave Heinzman and Peter Strickland.  Plan to attend at 10 am on Sunday mornings in the parish hall library.  If possible, purchase a copy of the book in the meantime.  They are available at Wal-Mart and other stores.
