Bible Study on the Gospel of John

In this we encounter Jesus in a new different way. Following Christ takes more than simply believing in him or doing what he asks of us. Jesus wants you to be more than just a believer—he wants you to be his disciple and friend. Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John guide to a personal encounter with Christ. As the Good Shepherd, Jesus seeks us. He comes to meet us and beckons us to follow him. He calls us to be his disciples, to trust him, to open ourselves to his merciful love, and to love others as he has loved us. You will be  invited you to experience the joy of a renewed friendship with Christ. In this study you will learn what it takes to follow Christ and discover the joy of divine friendship. You will see how God, and only God, can satisfy the deepest desires of your heart.

When:  Every Wednesday @ 6:30pm & Thursday @ 1:00pm

(The first class will begin on September 20th)

There will be a fee of $ 25.00 for study set. Study set may be picked up at the

parish office.
