Our friend Dorothy is bringing a wonderful gift to our parish.
Dorothy is facilitating "A Quick Journey Through the Bible" - an 8-week study of the key events and timeline of Salvation history revealed to us in Sacred Scripture.
I have listened to the audio version of the course. I found it truly remarkable how heros and stories in the Old Testament pre-figure Jesus, our Savior, in the New Testament. I gained a whole new appreciation for the Old Testament readings at Mass and how they link to the second readings and the Gospel. I just marvel at the love that God has for the people He created - yesterday, today and forever!
Check out this short video which describes the key concepts covered in the course:
- The 14 narrative books of the Bible and the 12 major time periods of salvation history.
- The major people, places, events, & themes of the Bible.
- The six covenants God made with humanity, leading to the establishment of the Catholic Church.
- How the 14 narrative books fit in with the other 59 books of the Bible.
The course will be held on Tuesday mornings from September 10-October 29 from 10-11:30am in the Parish Library. Class materials are $20 and can be pre-ordered. For further information or to register, contact Dorothy by email or by phone at 301-365-0068.
If you haven't ordered the materials and still want to attend - don't worry.
If you don't think you can make all of the classes due to your work or family schedule - don't worry.
Just come to the course and start learning and loving God's word!
