RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE:
6 WEEK ONLINE BIBLE STUDY STARTING SOON!
Jesus is God’s greatest victory and likewise he is the
fulfillment of humanity’s deepest longing. Because of
the resurrection of Jesus a new age has dawned and life
will never be the same again. What exactly did happen
on Easter morning? Why did it impel the disciples to
begin a journey which would transform the world?
What does this mean to us, here where we live today?
Join us on Zoom on Tuesday evenings, starting
May 12th, to understand what the Scriptures teach us
about our own resurrection and how that hope gives
purpose to everything we do! Please register by
Sunday, May 3 with Toni Pemberton (520-404-1928 or
[email protected]). Once participant books
arrive, they can be picked up from the parish during
office hours. Cost for participant books is $13.
Financial assistance is available.
