Study of the Sacred Scriptures and reflection on their meaning for our lives has been strongly encouraged since the time of the Second Vatican Council.  Personal, prayerful reflection on the Scripture readings for the upcoming weekend is always encouraged as an important way to prepare for our Sunday worship and as a means for growth in our life of faith. There are a variety of group opportunities for Scripture Study offered over the course of the year as well:

LITTLE ROCK SCRIPTURE STUDY

"Introduction to the Bible"
September 15 – October 20 (six weeks)
Mondays from 10-11:30 a.m. or 7:00-8:30 p.m. in Mtg Rm 2

Become more comfortable finding your way around the Bible. Develop a better understanding of its books, themes, and writing styles. Gain more insight about the Catholic approach to the Bible and to Bible interpretation. Come to a deeper appreciation of this treasury of God’s Word!

This 6 week scripture series will use Little Rock Scripture Study material and will be facilitated by members of the pastoral staff. The cost is $15 for materials and we ask that you register by Sept. 3 so we know how many books to order. You may come to the office to register or download the form and bring it in.

“Parables of the Kingdom” – Part 2
October 27 – November 24 (five weeks)
Mondays from 10-11:30 a.m. or 7:00-8:30 p.m. in Mtg Rm 2

Explore with us the parables of Jesus, as told by Matthew and Luke… and their insight and meaning for our lives.

Materials fee payable at first session:
$8 for study guide only (for those continuing from Parables Part I)
$15 for complete study set (for newcomers).
Registration deadline: October 16th
To register, call the Parish Office at 248.693-0440 or e-mail Kathy Hasty with your name, phone, course desired and time slot preferred.

We will be offering scripture studies on Mondays throughout the year. We will begin with the Introduction to the Bible and move right into the second Parable Study in October and finish with a series on Mark. We will ask that you register for each individual session. So make Monday your Bible study day this year and plan to join us!
