One great thing about the Catholic Faith is that no matter how much you learn, there’s always more to discover. Understanding the roots of the Church’s teachings and traditions draws us closer to God, because the more we know Him, the more we come to love Him and trust in Him. Knowing why we believe the things that we believe strengthens our Faith. It empowers us to follow Jesus’ command to go and make disciples of every nation, because we cannot share knowledge that we don’t have. Also, if the younger generation sees us actively pursuing the Lord and excited about growing in our knowledge of the Faith, they are more likely to follow our example.

Jesus the Good Shepherd Faith Studies Presents "Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible"
Have you ever wanted to study the bible, but you either don’t really know where to start or find yourself getting lost in the details?
On Wednesday, May 4th, we will begin the study “Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible”. The focus of this study is on getting the “big picture” of the scripture narrative, from Genesis all the way to the early church. Created by Jeff Cavins, this study divides the books of the bible into twelve time periods of salvation history, focusing on the narrative books that fall into each time period.
This study will meet every other Wednesday beginning on March 16th, from 6:00pm-7:30pm in Parish Hall. Nursery will be available in Moore Hall. Make sure to enter through the Moore Hall entrance as the Church doors will be locked!
For this study, you will need to purchase the study set found on the following website ($26.95).
