Bible Study

This year we will hear the Gospel of Matthew proclaimed at Mass on Sundays, making this the perfect time to study the Gospel that begins the New Testament. The Gospel of Matthew provides a bridge from the Jewish world awaiting a Messiah to the emerging Christian world of Jesus and his followers. Our primary source will be the Little Rock Scripture Study materials. The first part of the study focuses on the birth of Jesus and his public ministry; the second part reveals a growing tension as Jesus ministers around Jerusalem, is arrested, is crucified, and rises to new life. Through video lectures, Barbara Reid, OP, introduces us to Jesus as the Master Teacher whose words of instruction are captured in large teaching sections. Supplementary materials, Formed Now  -The Gospel of Matthew, can be found on Formed.org.

Mondays, August 31 - Nov 9
All sessions will be VIRTUAL. The August 31 session will be an orientation and welcome.
Hour-long, small group discussions will take place weekly at 7 p.m. An optional group viewing of the video lecture will begin at 8 p.m. (The video may also be viewed later on your own.) The cost of the study materials is $20. We will make arrangements for pick up or delivery of materials at our orientation session.
