Details: Please join us as we continue the Great
Adventure Bible Study Program with Acts: The
Spread of the Kingdom. In this 20-week
DVD-based study, Catholic Bible Study teacher, Jeff Cavins,
"shows how Christ's Kingdom on earth is empowered to
carry out his work in the world. The book of
Acts shows the Church, enlivened by the Holy
Spirit, teaching, preaching, healing, and
restoring outcasts in the same way that Jesus did on earth. The
Acts of the Apostles provides an historic framework
for understanding the rest of the New
Testament. Paul's letters in particular come
alive in a new way when they are read within the
context of the Acts narrative."
Each participant should bring a notebook and a Bible
to the
Bible Study. The Introductory Session occurred on Monday,
December 7, 2009. Weekly sessions will continue on
successive Mondays through April 19, 2010.
There is no cost for this Bible Study. To
register, please contact Jim Kerr at 966-7950.

Mark Hoggard at St. Therese, 488-2553, Extension 303. The original
performance of the famous Oberammergau Passion Play dates back to 1634.
During the Thirty Years War, the village of Oberammergau was spared the
Black Plague, and forthis very reason, the villagers vowed that every
ten years they would give a play to honor the life of Christ. The
performers are all native Oberammergaurs. To lend authenticity to the
performance, the cast start to grow their hair and
beards more than a year in advance! Also, the intricate costumes are
made locally by the villagers. For most, this is truly a
once-in-a-lifetime experience, so early registration is important for
the best seats. I hope you'll consider joining us.
