Announcements

Hello All,

As long as St. Jerome School is not closed tomorrow, we will have bible study at 9am! 

Thank you to Joyce Lex for facilitating last week's discussion! And thank you to Joyce Lex in advance for facilitating tomorrow's session. (I just got back from Florida-sorry-this afternoon, so haven't had time to prepare). 

At last week's discussion, Joyce referenced the United States Catechism for Adults. Here is the information. It looks like there are plenty of used copies available at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/United-States-Catholic-Catechism-Adult/dp/1574554506/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1548976174&sr=8-1&keywords=united+states+catechism+for+adults.

Also, thank you to Ann Sarnowski for generously offering to make coffee for our group every Friday! Please consider making a free will offering for supplies.

God bless

questions from last Friday

Hi All,

Here are a couple of answers to questions from last Friday:

1. When did Manasseh repent? (I think you will want to read 2 Chronicles as referenced below. Also this is not a Catholic source, but I think pretty reliable).


2. Why did Hezekiah show his treasures?



I am not totally satisfied with these answers. If anyone finds another better answer, please send to me and I will distribute in early February.

Also, several people have asked for the procedure to watch Jeff Cavins' lectures:

2. Log in. If this is your first Ascension Press study, you'll need to create an account with a user name and password.
3. Click on "Join a Study"
4. Click on "REDEEM CODE" and enter L2NKSQ and the other information required. You will now be able to watch the lectures!

Finally thank you in advance to Joyce Lex for facilitating this coming Friday. I viewed Jeff's lecture for Friday's lesson and it is excellent as always.

God bless
Krishna Smith

Bible Study Questions & A Lenten Book Recommendation!

Hello All,

Here are answers to two recent questions:

1. What was contained in the Ark of the Covenant at the time the Jerusalem Temple was built?

2. What was the relationship between Egypt and the Divided Kingdom (Israel and Judah)?


Also, Kathy has passed along an EXCELLENT book written by Jeff Cavins that I would like to recommend for your Lenten reading. It dovetails very well from our Bible Timeline study and has many practical recommendations for becoming a disciple of Jesus: "The Activated Disciple: Taking Your Faith to the Next Level". Here is a link with a short video from Jeff: https://shop.ascensionpress.com/products/the-activated-disciple.

See you tomorrow!
Krishna

Fwd: The Bible Timeline resumes next Friday!



Begin forwarded message:

From: fkdcsmith <fkdcsmith@wi.rr.com>
Subject: The Bible Timeline resumes next Friday!
Date: January 4, 2019 at 10:07:36 AM CST
To: Franklin Smith <fkdcsmith@wi.rr.com>

Hello All,

I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a very happy and healthy 2019.

We will resume The Bible Timeline bible study on Friday January 11 at 9am with Session 13-Divided Kingdom, Part 1. We'll meet every Friday for a total of 11 sessions.

If you haven't been able to attend for awhile or have found it difficult to complete the reading, please rejoin the study!

Beginning with Session 18, Messianic Fulfillment, Part 1, the reading becomes much easier and much more familiar with the Gospel of Luke. Beginning with Session 21, The Church, Part 1, we will be reading the book of Acts-again much more familiar. And both are very good Lenten preparation.

Looking forward to seeing you next Friday,
Krishna Smith
