Do You Want to Read the Bible, But Don’t Know How to Begin?
If you have ever wanted to read the Bible, but did not know where or how to begin, then:
The Bible Timeline Parish Study is for you. The Bible Timeline makes reading the Bible not only easy, but exciting. In this study, you will learn the major people, places, events and themes of the Bible - getting the “big picture” of salvation history. Perhaps for the first time in your life, you will understand the overview of the Bible story. This then makes your Bible reading and even the Sunday Mass readings come alive like never before.
Last year during Lent a number of parishioners participated in an eight week overview of this great adventure called A Quick Journey Through The Bible. This year, we are diving much deeper into the Bible with a 24 week program which will be broken into three eight week segments.

The Bible Timeline is basic enough to suit those who haven't studied the Bible before while at the same time offering ways to go deeper that will challenge the Bible study veteran.
During the program, you will:
- Read for yourself the 14 narrative books of the Bible - the ones that tell the story-in chronological order.
- Learn God's marvelous plan of salvation history and see how your faith story fits into "His-story."
- Study key Old Testament passages in light of their fulfillment in Christ.
- Learn how Catholic Tradition views the biblical narrative and how to use the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a study reference.
- Gain a greater appreciation for the Scripture readings you hear in Mass.
- Lay a strong foundation for further Bible reading and study.
This program is one of the most practical and spiritually rewarding adult formation programs you will do. With this program you will understand the Bible like never before.
Remember, as St. Jerome said, ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ. Come and join us in this incredible adventure – we can all learn together. We’ll have a great time learning more about God’s number one best seller, and our own salvation history.

That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work."
