There will be a 7-part Bible study offered at St. Peter’s Parish called Genesis to Jesus. It will teach you the ‘big picture’ of the Bible: the links between Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus. It will take place on Thursdays starting on October 13, at 7 p.m. to November 24. There is a price of $10 dollars to help cover the cost of a participant workbook. Enrollment is limited to 24 people. There will be sign-ups after all the Masses on the weekend of September 24-25. You must be pre-registered to attend. A certificate of completion will be provided to each participant.
