BIBLE STUDY: Experience the Joy of Following Christ
 
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. Our next Bible Study will be Follow Me: Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John. Edward Sri will be our 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. Follow Me invites 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. The study will be eight 35-minute sessions led by Edward Sri. There is a workbook that accompanies the study. The cost is $24.95 and includes video access for 1 year.
 
We will continue to offer the study via zoom sessions on Tuesday evening or in the Parish Hall on Thursday morning. You are welcome to switch attendance from either session to suit your scheduling. The deadline for registering is Sun., Sept. 18. Workbooks will be ordered for attendants on the following Monday. Late registrations will be accepted, but you will have to order your own workbook from Ascension Press.  Sign-ups will be held in the Parish Hall after the Masses on Sun., Sept. 11 & 18. More information will be available at that time, or by contacting Rosilyn Flanagan at [email protected] or (865) 680-6545.  Zoom Classes begin Tues., Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. In-Person Classes (Parish Hall) begin Thurs., Sept. 29 at 10 a.m.
