Monday Evening Scripture Study
This class was formed to enable parishioners to become familiar
with the Sunday Readings prior to hearing them proclaimed at the weekend masses. Studying and sharing the readings ahead
of time enables parishioners to familiarize themselves with a scripture verse and promotes a better understanding of the practical
application they intend. Such study helps us in our everyday lives realize the message of Jesus. This group meets
in the Parish Resource Center (in the Rectory) on Monday evenings at 7:30 P.M. year 'round (except for holidays). Everyone
is welcome. |
Tuesday Morning Men's Commuter Bible Study
This group was originally started by Fr. Donald Grasha and is currently carried on by previous members of the group.
The purpose of this group is to provide a time for men to come together, read and share their reflections in response to the
bible readings for the following week. Meetings are hosted by a different group member who provides munchies and coffee
for fellow members. It is a great start to any day! Any men interested may meet them in the Parish Office Room
105 at 6:00 AM Tuesday Mornings. |
Women's Bible Reflection
Wednesday Mornings
This bible study group for women began 6 years ago and continues today reviewing the
previous week's scripture. Each week the group shares how the Lord speaks to them through the scriptures. It is
a very comfortable and non-intimidating atmosphere, with no previous knowledge required. They do not dissect specific
parts of the Bible, but go through pieces in relation to the liturgical season's readings. They use the "Bible
Diaries" to provide them with commentary and background information on their readings. The fourth Wednesday of
each month is their fellowship day where they have sharing and potluck at a member's home or in the Parish Resource Center.
All women are invited and encouraged to come and join. They meet at 10:00 AM on Wednesday mornings in the Parish Resource
Center. |
Friday Morning Scripture Class
This Scripture
Class is working their way through the entire Bible with the purpose of better understanding and appreciating the Church.
They began last year with the book of Exodus and have continued their studies in order from book to book.
The readings are done together during class and are discussed with specific background information and explanation to better
understand the material. The material blends itself and there is no homework and no obligation. Anyone and everyone
is welcome to join them at 10:00 AM on Friday Mornings in the Parish Resource Center. Those interested need only bring
a New American Bible. |
