In 2010-2011 we are offering 4 different bible studies:
The Bible Timeline - Salvation history is covered from its
beginning in Genesis through the coming of Christ and the establishment of the Catholic Church.
Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to Come - The Kingdom established by Christ in His Church is intimately connected with the Kingdom of Heaven, especially through the celebration of the Mass.
EPIC: The Journey through Church History - The history of the Church is the story of our family. It is the epic story of our ancestors in the Faith – the heroic men and women who shaped civilization and spread the Gospel throughout the world.
James: Pearls for Wise Living - As one of the most practical books of the Bible, James is a book of wisdom and a collection of teachings on issues faced by ordinary Christians in everyday life. |
