Thank you. Catholic Bible Study Series: The Scripture scholarship of Fr. Joseph Ponessa and the teaching expertise of Laurie Manhardt have again produced an exceptional Catholic Bible study, The Gospel of John. The authors employ both inductive and deductive teaching methods to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of the Gospel. They take nothing for granted as they open this gospel and the teaching of the Church in a manner both didactic and inspirational. Some of the outstanding features of this study include: • Numerous references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church • Beautiful illustrations and design • Engaging questions and helpful hints for study • Rich teachings from the saints and Church Fathers • Scriptural teaching applied to life situations • Treasured Catholic prayers and devotions Father Basil has need of assistance this Sunday to distribute Holy Communion over at the BLC and to the homebound. Please volunteer! For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” James 2:26 LENTEN “BONA OPERA” Lenten “Good Works” Now is the time to show our faith by our good works. As the Apostle James reminds us, faith itself, unless it is accompanied by good works for the Lord, is dead. Six weeks before the Sacred Triduum, the People of God consider the great act of love Jesus accomplished for us when he carried our sins and nailed them, along with his body, to the Cross. This Lent, please consider an act you will accomplish for the Lord. By God’s grace, may you choose to resolve to act, and then keep to your resolve. Bring your bible and a Catechism of the Catholic Church. The parish will cover the cost of the DVDs In order to assure delivery, please give your payment of $28 for the cost of the workbook to the parish secretary no later than February 15 th . Additionally, one set of DVDs at a cost of $99 will be purchased by the parish. This Lenten Bible Study will meet twice each week on Sunday evenings and Thursday evenings during Lent. STUDY SESSIONS WILL BEGIN ON SUNDAY MARCH 1 ST AT 6:30 PM. Sessions will be 1 ½-2 hours in length. A book purchase is necessary for each participant at a cost of 28.00 per book, which includes shipping. SIGN UP SHEETS FOR THIS STUDY ARE LOCATED ON TABLE in back of the church.
