Adult Faith Formation:

Scripture Studies: Faith formation through praise, prayer, instruction and social interaction:

Bible Study:
Revelation – begins Monday, September 26^th, and will run most Monday evenings, ending December 12^th.  We meet from 6:30pm (optional half-hour of social time) to 8:30pm.

Exodus  – will run Mondays, January 9, 2012 through March 26, 2012, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm. We meet from 6:30pm (optional half-hour of social time) to 8:30pm.
Participants will spend 10 weeks on Revelation and 10 weeks on Exodus. Not only will participants come away with a deeper understanding of the two books individually, you will learn how the two Books interlock.Jeff Cavins and Thomas Smith treat their study of Revelation from the Catholic perspective. They de-bunk the popular recent mega-sellers notions and show the book as an unveiling of the Groom and her Bride: Christ and the Church. Exodus, the study by Dr. Tim Gray and Scott Powell, is also treated through the lens of the Catholic Church. Through Christ and the Church God desires to free humankind from sin and fear.

Hebrews and James Epistles - Come and join us every second, third, and fourth Thursday at 7:00PM beginning on September 8, 2011. This 28-week study is a combination of the Hebrews and James Epistles. Both study commentaries are written by Dr. Scott Hahn and Mark Shea. Hebrews consists of 16 lessons; James has 12 lessons. . In addition to the written commentaries, each study has accompanying video lectures done by priests. The Hebrews video lectures are presented by Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ. The lectures on the James study are presented by Fr. Scott Courtney of the diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska.
