Winter Adult Education Offerings at St. Mark

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Bible Study of the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles: In 2022, Lectionary Cycle C, we will be hearing from the Gospel of Luke most every Sunday. What is unique about this beautiful Gospel? We hear parables found nowhere else: the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, the Rich Man and Lazarus. We meet people we don’t find anywhere else: Zachariah and Elizabeth, Zacchaeus, the Widow of Naim, the Good Thief. We find special characteristics: a gospel of prayer, gospel of the Holy Spirit, gospel of praise, a gospel of universalism

Please come join us as we study this Gospel and Acts, using a video series by Fr. Nicholas King as a resource. Fr. King is a celebrated international Biblical scholar. His wisdom, spiritual insight, and seasoned expertise should make this study extra-special.  Classes will be held in the St. Mark Room of the Parish Life Center on Wednesdays from 10:00-11:30 a.m. beginning  Jan. 5 and on Thursday evenings from 6:00 -7:30 pm beginning Jan. 6. Classes will continue until March 30/31. Please register for this class by Dec 20^th by emailing Sr Madeline at SrMadeline@stmarkrc.org, or calling 205-531-0040, indicating your interest in the morning or evening class.

Sunday Morning Small Groups: The book A Well-Built Faith—creatively developed around a construction theme—makes it easy for Catholics to know what they believe and to feel confident in sharing those beliefs. This book by master teacher Joe Paprocki follows the structure of the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (Creed, Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer), making it a wonderful resource for learning about the Catholic faith. Highly informative and very fun at the same time, the book will be shared by small groups in the Parish Life Center from 9:15-10:15 am, from January 9 through February 13. Please register by December 17 so that your book can be ordered. Call Sr. Madeline at 205-531-0040 or email SrMadeline@stmarkrc.org, giving your name and phone.
