2019-2020 Adult Ed Classes Available:

“Small Group” faith-sharing sessions

        Fall is approaching and we invite you to support our Saint Mark family by participating in the                weekly “Small Group” faith-sharing sessions.  Small groups are a way to share our faith and                learn more about the Bible in a home or smaller group setting, primarily in the neighborhoods of          the parish. The response from our groups last spring were positive so we are now offering                  something new, “Alive in the Word” faith-sharing resources based on the epistles of Saint Paul.          Please accept our invitation to join a group, become a facilitator, or agree to host a session.                Get to know your fellow parishioners and grow in your faith. All new members welcomed. 
 
        For registration contact:  Susan Webb  205-439-1191 or onermschl1@aol.com. 
        Registration deadline September 1.
        The six sessions will begin the week of September 22 and continue weekly until November 3.

Matthew: The King and His Kingdom

          The Story of How Christ Established His Kingdom 

Join Mary Beth Crumly, Director of Family and Youth Ministry, on Wednesdays at
10:00 AM beginning September 11th

The Matthew: The King and His Kingdom study program shows how Jesus fulfills God’s promises to Israel and establishes his kingdom on earth. Through references to the Old Testament promises of God to his people and the messages God sent them through the prophets, the Matthew Bible study program provides the key to understanding the rest of the New Testament and Christ as the fulfillment of God’s plan.

Matthew portrays Jesus as the true King who fulfills the Law the people of Israel have failed to keep and who introduces the new law that will accompany the New Covenant. In this 24-part study of the Gospel of Matthew, presenter Jeff Cavins explains how Jesus is challenging and empowering us to a new level of holiness and shows how we must be thoroughly immersed in the kingdom of heaven on earth, the Church, to live it

LIFELONG FAITH FORMATION 

"The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ: only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity."  ( Catechesi Tradendae, #5) 

Saint Mark the Evangelist Parish strives to offer a variety of methods (lecture, workshops, book club, scripture study and small group discussion) and various times so many may participate.
