Luke 3:1-6

TWENTY MONDAYS AT 6:30 PM Cost/Registration BEGINNING JANUARY 21ST Registration fee (includes workbook andfor online $29.00 Moreaccess): Information To register, call ext 2 or visit Acts is a story of hope. It s the story of how a few Christians empowered by the Holy Spirit were chosen to bring Christ and the Good News to the ends of the earth. They taught as Christ did. They performed miracles as he did. Some even gave their lives for him. They faced secular forces, internal strife, hostile crowds,and despite all of this, they brought the kingdom of God to a broken world and the love of God to the hearts of men. Acts will enrich your faith and rekindle your love for Christ as you live the lives of his first disciples. Once you start learning he makes you hunger for more. Jeff pulls everything you need to know out of the Bible and it all starts to make sense like it never did before. Margaret A. Tirpak, NY Visit BibleStudyForCatholics.com to learn more!
