Join us for Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible
A Quick Journey Through the Bible
​Many Catholics want to read the Bible because they know it is God’s Word, but they give up because it seems so complicated. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible helps you get the “big picture” by showing how fourteen narrative books of the Bible tell the complete story from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church. Presenter Jeff Cavins shows you how to read the Bible so that you can actually understand it. Aided by the unique color-coded Bible Timeline® Chart, which arranges the key people, places, and events of Scripture in chronological order, Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible will help you discover the story of salvation history and understand how you fit into God’s plan. This eight-session study program includes video presentations that explore all twelve time periods of The Bible Timeline Chart.

Tuesdays. January 10, 2023
Time: 9:00 AM ~ 11:00 AM
Location: Classroom 4

Lectio Eucharist Bible Study will begin on Tuesday January 10, 2023, from 9:00 am to
11:00 am in room 4.
 
“The Lamb of God,” “The Bread of Life,” “The Body and the Blood of Christ” … these are phrases we know from the Mass. But do we understand what they mean in the greater and deeper context of Scripture and Church teaching? Acclaimed author and teacher Dr. Brant Pitre rigorously digs down to the biblical roots of the Eucharist, through its foreshadowing in the miraculous events of the Old Testament, the Gospels, and Apostolic teaching.
 
We’ll discover firsthand how Christ’s Body and Blood are an integral and wondrous part of God’s plan for our salvation.

This study lasts for 10 weeks.
The cost for the study guide is $27.50.
Please contact Kay Dorrance by email at kayd@afaltd.com if you would like more information.
