Acts of the Apostles and Pauline Letters—Tuesdays Mornings

Begins with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. The study of the Acts of the Apostles helps us understand the four marks of the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church. St. Paul of Tarsus was one the most influential letter-writers of all time. Learn how his missionary travels in Acts are linked to ten of his apostolic letters. This study demonstrates the recapitulation of Jesus Christ in the life of the Apostles and ultimately in the life of the Church.

When: Tuesday from 9:15 to 10:45 AM, beginning September 7, 2021, through March 2022
Where: Parish Center
Format: Read together, answer questions (that will be supplied to everyone ahead of class time), and watch the Seeking Truth Sharon Doran lecture

The Complete Sayings of Jesus—Wednesday Mornings

Join us to study exactly what Jesus said, to whom did He say it, where He was when He said it, what was their reaction, and what was the context. Like the Jefferson Bible, this is an attempt to edit the four gospels into a consistent account, in this case focusing on the words of Jesus. There is plenty of connecting narrative around the instances where Jesus speaks, so this is better than simply presenting each quote out of context. The focus on what Jesus is attributed as saying makes it easier to browse the core texts of the New Testament. All in all, a very useful reference, and a great read. (Quote from sacred-texts.com)

When: Wednesday from 9:30 to 10:30 AM, beginning October 13, 2021 through Spring 2022
Where: Parish Center
Format: Present the material in chronological order of our Savior’s making the statements. Presenters include Deacon Marty Warwick and Cindy Bazis. The book is available on Amazon or free as a PDF on the internet.
Register: email Deacon Marty at mwarwick3@cox.net
