One Adventure Ends...Another Already Set to Begin!

Last night saw the final gathering of our 40+ strong bible study group that has been following the "Quick Journey Through the Bible" DVD series from Ascension Press. It has really been an amazing ride through the entire story of Salvation from Genesis through to the Acts of the Apostles.

In 8 short weeks we began to appreciate just how awesome a story it is that we have been handed in the Word of God. Even more exciting, that this story does not end with words written in black and white on the thin and aging pages of our bibles, but is still alive, moving and breathing in the midst of our own stories!

The response has been so good with this brief over-view of the Bible story that many of the participants have been jumping at the bit to do the longer 24-week program this fall.

Where the Quick Journey spends approximately 1 hour a night over 8 weeks breaking open the 14 narrative books of the Bible (those 14 books that tell the core story of our faith in a chronological manner), The Great Adventure Bible Study, while following the same outline, invites us to sit back and get comfortable with each of the 14 books in their appropriate time period taking as much as 4 hours (2 hours each evening) to delve into the stories and discover the rich fruits Gods has tucked away within.

We already have a few dozen people signed up for this 24 week study in the fall with many more expressing interest in the program. If you would like some more information, or would like to register for the fall program contact Eric in the parish office.

Not sure if the 24-week study is for you? We will be offering a re-run of the Quick Journey Through the Bible 8-week program on Saturday mornings starting this September. Be sure to let Eric know if you're interested.

Have a very blessed Holy Week and a Happy Easter!

Peace and God Bless
