Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible
This Lenten season, Holy Family invites you to join us as we take a deeper look at Sacred Scripture. “The Bible is at the heart of our faith and our relationship with God. Much more than just another book, it is a ‘place’ where our heavenly Father comes down to meet us and speaks to us with love.” Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible is a highly acclaimed video series with speakers Jeff Cavins and Sarah Christmyer. Each session will include a video presentation, small group discussions and some take-home preparation for each participant. This program will run on Wednesday nights for 8 weeks, beginning on February 12th and concluding on April 8th (the program will not run on Ash Wednesday). The evenings will commence at 7pm and will run for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
There is no cost to attend. but we do encourage donations to help cover the cost of participant materials.
If you would like to join us, please register by emailing: mountwaverley.evangelisation@cam.org.au or calling the parish office at 9807 9494.
