Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to Come”

An adult bible study by Jeff Cavins and Thomas Smith designed to de-mystify, to “unveil” the meanings behind the visions of John in very clear terms. In this study, according to the authors, the Book of Revelation is presented from the Catholic viewpoint – chapters 1- 11 as an “unveiling” of the Divine Groom, Christ; chapters 12 – 22 lifts the veil of His Bride, the Church.
The study of Revelation begins Monday, September 26th, and will run most Monday evenings, ending December 12th.  We meet from 6:30pm (optional half-hour of social time) to 8:30pm.

“Exodus: Called to Freedom”

Exodus, one of the most beloved treasured books in all Scripture, is studied here through the lens of Christ and the Church. More than seeking to free His people from physical slavery, God desires to free His people from the tyranny of sin and fear. According to the study authors, Dr. Tim Gray and Scott Powell, Exodus is a blueprint for all Salvation History and the study will show how Exodus is echoed throughout Scripture, including Revelation. Exodus will run Mondays, January 9, 2012 through March 26, 2012, 6:30 pm – 8:30 p
