GIFT is more than just a book study, or even a Bible study, though that is always an important component. GIFT is an on-going opportunity for adults to meet in community, outside of Mass, and grow in their Catholic faith together.
GIFT uses curriculum developed by leading Catholic sources including Ascension, Dynamic Catholic, and Word on Fire, and each session includes an opportunity for rich dialogue.
The group meets Mondays in the St Josephs Room. Doors open at 6:45PM for a bit of participant-provided hospitality, and concludes by 8:30PM, all for an at-will donation. Don't wait for a new study to start - join any time! All are welcome.
The Turning Point: A Gospel of John Bible Study begins Monday, June 4 @ 7PM in St Joseph Room.
It is a nine-session Bible study experience from Dynamic Catholic that will introduce you to people and stories in the Gospel of John that you won’t find anywhere else in the Bible: the woman at the well; a man named Nicodemus; the woman caught in adultery; and Lazarus, the friend Jesus raised from the dead. You’ll read stories about Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana, Jesus washing the feet of his disciples, and Peter’s marvelous redemption after he denies Jesus three times.
The people in these stories were transformed by their encounters with Jesus. By entering into their miraculous stories, you will encounter Jesus in a personal way and develop a deeper relationship with him that will transform your everyday life.
A workbook is recommended, and will be available at the introductory session for $15 while supplies last. RSVP to me at MaryJeanDuran@yahoo.com and we'll reserve one for you!
