My name is Krishna Smith and I will be the facilitator for the Friday morning bible study at St. Jerome’s-The Bible Timeline-The Story of Salvation. Welcome to all new participants and welcome back to those who have participated in previous bible studies.
I pray that this will be an informative and inspiring bible study for you all!
Our first meeting will be at 9am on Friday September 7 in the Fireside Cafe just off of the Narthex at St. Jerome’s. We will meet for 12 consecutive Fridays starting September 7.
Your study sets have arrived at the St. Jerome Parish Office. Please pick them up at your earliest convenience. Please read through “Introduction: About This Study" in your study set prior to our first meeting.
At our first meeting, we will introduce ourselves to each other, view the Jeff Cavins lecture for the Introduction (11 minutes vs. the usual 50 minute lecture), I will review many details about the study and will answer any questions.
For this bible study, you will need your study set, a Catholic Bible, and a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
It is recommended that you have the Revised Standard Edition-Catholic Edition (RSV-CE) bible for this study as all citations within the study are from this bible. The New American Bible-Catholic Edition is another good one.
**Something new this year! The Great Adventure Catholic Bible is hot off the press! I have purchased this bible already (thank you to Trish Shult for recommending!) and will bring it to the first meeting. It was developed by Ascension Press to incorporate the Great Adventure’s color-coded Bible Timeline. It is outstanding. Here is additional information: https://shop.
If you have any questions before our first meeting, please feel free to email me at fkdcsmith@wi.rr.com. I will get back to you after the Labor Day weekend!
God bless,
Krishna Smith
