Adventures in Acts is a 20-week study of the Acts of the Apostles that tells the story of the earliest days of the Church and shows us how Christ’s work continues through us in the Church today. Since the Holy Father has declared this the year of St. Paul it is fitting to learn about Paul’s life and the impact he had on our church first as one who persecuted the church and later as one who spread the message of Christ to the Gentiles. This course is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about our faith through Scripture study. Classes meet on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 pm or Wednesday mornings from 9:00 to 11:00 am. All classes are held in the St. Joseph media room. To register for either session, call the Quad-Parish Office at 496-2160.
