With February right around the corner, I'm looking today at the template for our monthly studies and the "minor feast" that kicks it all off (this name is a play on the "major feasts" of the liturgical calendar; our own major feasts are the ones that kick off the new season). Here is a collection of ideas for the celebration. Next, I'll share what our studies look like for the month of February. 

Minor Feast Template
