Join Dick Marchessault as he presents this study:

To understand the Bible we should understand its “plot.” And the Bible’s plot is the story of salvation history. It is the story of human salvation unfolding in history according to God’s plan. We need to read the Bible from the heart of the Church if we are to make sense of the Scriptures and apply them to our lives. This includes an understanding of why we should read them and how we should read them.this summer to study the divine covenants that God made with humanity in the course of salvation history. We will focus on the Old Testament covenants with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, and then we will see how each is fulfilled in the New Testament covenant that God makes with the world through Jesus.

THE BIBLE and the SACRAMENTS

SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY

In the Catechism the sacraments are described as “the masterworks of God” in the new and everlasting covenant. More than rituals, they are “‘powers that come forth from the Body of Christ.” This study program from the St. Paul Center with Scott Hahn dives into the mystery of these channels of grace by illuminating their scriptural roots in the Old and New Testaments, and their connection to the rites of the Church. Join us on Sunday mornings from 10:30 to Noon and discover that the sacraments we celebrate are nothing new. God has always dealt with us in a sacramental manner. Finding their institution in Jesus and their origin in salvation history, Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Marriage and Holy Orders are God’s gifts of life and love to his children. There are 11 lessons in this study that will run from October 6 to December 15. Register soon at https://tinyurl.com/SacRegister or call the Faith Formation office (688-0599).
