What is it that is so special about the Eucharist? Although the Eucharist appears to be simple bread and wine, it is actually the “source and summit” of the Christian life. Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist explores the truth and beauty of Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture, to its profound role in the life of the Church and her members. It is the crescendo of the entire story of salvation.

 Beginning November 14th, 2018 we will start The Epic series of The Early Church in a 10-part program that presents an exciting and dramatic detail of the first 500 years of the Church through the lives and events of the saints, philosophers, theologians, martyrs, and ruthless emperors!

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,” or, at least that’s the assumption based on that familiar holiday song. But what does that look like at your house? Most of us anticipate the great sales at the mall on the day after Thanksgiving, string lights on the outside of our house, and decorating the inside of our homes. But how exactly are we preparing our hearts for the greatest gift we’ve ever been given? Through an exploration of the mystery of the Incarnation, the Virgin Birth, and the events surrounding the arrival of Jesus, this Advent study offers an opportunity to experience the joy of the true meaning of Christmas.

Beginning November 28th, 2018
Wednesdays 10:00 am
Melancon Center St. John Paul II Room

Jeff Cavins describes how Jesus established his kingdom based on the Jewish history described in the Old Testamant in this twenty-four-part study with a 100 page study guide written by Sarah Christmyer.
