Bible Study
St. Hedwig Bible Study September 2017
St. Hedwig Bible study was formed in October 1978. We have seen many developments over the years — but the purpose has always been the same: that all Catholics would be able to discover the richness of the Scriptures through study in a safe environment for their faith. At present we are using materials from Emmaus Road Publishing and have used different studies from Ascension Press in prior years. In the early years, there were no Catholic Bible Studies available so we developed a program easily understood for Catholics. Many of our parishioners here at St. Hedwig plus participants from other parishes and non-Catholic churches have attended. We have studied most books from the Old Testament and all the Books of the New over the past 39 years. We look forward to beginning our 40th year in September 2017 as we study our new publication from the Come and See series: The Synoptics—Matthew, Mark and Luke. Click here for Class Poster. The study is divided into several segments: Opening prayer — a DVD from the publisher featuring one or more of the authors of this book — personal sharing from a leader — followed by pre-arranged sharing groups led by one of our dedicated leaders. The workbook has a commentary, home study and questions to answer — these will be the basis of the sharing groups. No one is compelled to speak or share at any time. Care will be taken to also prevent any one person from dominating the sharing group. The leaders have previously come together and shared with each other and therefore will not be participating in the discussion unless there are questions to be addressed. God is the Author of this BOOK and we can fully trust that He is able to open our hearts and our minds to understand His Word — most especially since The word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. [Hebrews 4:12]
