Please join us for one, several, or all of our sessions this year ! Please join us by contacting Darcy Wharton at 624-5827 x211 or completing the registration form below.
Our group meets from September through May each year.

The Gospel According to Matthew
Little Rock Scripture Study Series
Matthew presents Jesus of Nazareth as a great teacher and Son of God, emphasizing that he is Emmanuel ('God with us'), and that he is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. It follows the story from the virginal conception of Jesus, through his public ministry, to his passion, death, and resurrection, and commissioning the disciples to evangelize the whole world after his resurrection. Matthew, along with Mark and Luke, is one of the synoptic gospels. It is the primary gospel of year 'A' in the Catholic Church's liturgical cycle.

The Acts of the Apostles
Little Rock Scripture Study Series
Join is as we learn how Acts tells the story of the spread of the Gospel and the growth of the early church from its beginnings at Pentecost, following the ascension of Jesus. The Holy Spirit empowers the preaching of Peter, Paul, and the other disciples to take the faith from Jerusalem, to Judea, throughout Samaria and ultimately to the ends of the earth. It records the conversion of Paul and the momentous decision of the early church to welcome Gentiles as well as Jews into the church. Acts is the second volume of the literary work begun in the Gospel According to Luke.
This study group is facilitated by Cathy Katz and Eileen Wilkens; both longtime parishioners and leaders. For more information, or to register, contact Darcy or complete the online form below.
