Prayerfully reading and reflecting on the Word of God in Sacred Scripture is an important aspect of the mature Catholic Christian life. To some, fostering this practice of reading the Bible can seem a daunting and overwhelming task. Bible studies are one way in which we can grow in our understanding of Sacred Scripture within the context of community.
Adult Bible Study Groups
St. Monica has two general Adult Bible Study Groups which meet weekly to study the Word of God in Scripture, every Fall through Spring. One group meets on Tuesday evenings and the other meets on Wednesday mornings.
The Great Adventure: The Bible Timeline
Both of our Adult Bible Study Groups are excited to be exploring the Story of Salvation using The Great Adventure Bible Timeline course. Reading the Bible should bring us closer to Christ, but understanding it is often difficult. The good news is that you can understand the Bible, and The Bible Timeline makes it easy! Presenter Jeff Cavins shows you how fourteen of the Bible’s narrative books tell the biblical story from beginning to end and gives you the keys to understanding the amazing story woven throughout Scripture. The Bible Timeline divides the Bible into twelve color-coded time periods that make it easier to follow its narrative thread. Using a unique color-coded chart, you will learn the major people, places, and events of the Bible and discover how they all come together to reveal the remarkable story of our faith. Register for this study!
Meetings for this Bible Study are held on:
- Tuesday Evenings at 6:00PM (beginning September 30)
- Wednesday Mornings at 8:30AM (beginning October 1)
Registrations fees cover the cost of the the current course materials, shipping, taxes, and small administrative costs. Financial aid is available to cover these if you are unable to afford the cost. Follow the instructions provided in the registration form.
Walking With Purpose Women's Bible Study Group
Walking With Purpose Bible studies combine personal study with small group discussion, linking our everyday challenges to the solutions given to us through the teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church. If you desire to grow in your faith—in a supportive community of Catholic women—Walking with Purpose is for you! Visit our Walking With Purpose page for more information about this group, including a current schedule of meetings.
Ordering Your Priorities: Building a Life Well Lived
Walking With Purpose is excited to be reading Ordering Your Priorities: Building a Life Well Lived, an immensely practical Bible study that will help you put the most important things first. Another glass of wine, just one more episode on Netflix, a little more scrolling on Instagram...women are numbing out at ever-increasing rates. Why? What is it about our lives that makes us feel so overwhelmed? What might change if we figured out how to build lives that we don’t want to escape? We’ll begin by paying attention to the One who made us, because He can best tell us what we need for our lives to run well.
Meetings for this Bible Study are held on Thursday mornings from 8:30AM to 10:30AM (beginning on September 25). Register for this study!
