I have added the notes for all of our winter / spring sessions together:
You can find these notes under the heading above OLD TESTAMENT.
Reading Scripture Together – Winter / Spring 2012
Notes for all of our sessions of Mark are now here on the blog (under New Testament).
Our study of Mark is coming to a close – next week (Dec. 14 and 15) we will read chapters 15 and 16.
We will take a break for the Christmas season and come back January 11 and 12 with a study of Genesis and Exodus. Look for that schedule to be posted in the next day or two.
I am now compiling an email list to keep people updated and to alert them to changes due to weather or sickness. Let me know if you want to be added to that list.
This week we are reading Mark chapter 6.
Our study has been going very well, attendance has been fairly steady with about 10 folks on Wednesday afternoons and 7 or 8 folks on Thursday evenings. We always have room for more!
Remember – when we meet on Wednesdays after the noon mass I always have some light snacks to tide you over.
Our study of the Gospel of Mark continues this week. We will meet on Wednesday after the noon mass, on Thursday in the evening at 7:30pm.
Notes have been posted (under the tab above for New Testament).
Hope to see you there!
I hope that you can join us! If you are local to Columbia MD we will meet on Wednesday Sept. 7 after the noon mass (12:30) at the Wilde Lake Interfaith Center. The center is at 10431 Twin Rivers Road, Columbia MD, 21044.
We repeat the session on Thursdays, beginning Sept. 8, at 7:30pm in the same location.
If you are not local, please read Chapter 1 of the Gospel of Mark and then work my notes. I will post them each week. It is under the New Testament tab.
Take a look at this blog post.
All bible study sessions are held at Wilde Lake Interfaith Center. Each program runs on Wednesdays from 12:30 to 2:00 (after the noon mass) and from 7:30 to 9:00 in the evenings on Thursdays. Light refreshments are provided after the noon mass sessions on Wednesdays to tide folks over. In the fall of 2011 we will slowly read and study the Gospel of Mark. Mark will be the gospel we will read at Sunday mass in cycle B, beginning in Advent 2011. We will read 3 chapters each week, but focus our discussion on one chapter. We will look at the allusions to other scripture texts, explore the symbols and names, and much more. In addition to the focus chapter we will read the chapter before it (what happened before this chapter?) and the one after it (where will this chapter take us?). These sessions will be held on Wednesdays September 7 through Wednesday December 14 from 12:30 to 2:00. We will also do the same program on Thursdays September 8 through December 15 from 7:30 to 9:00. The only exception – we will not meet the week of Thanksgiving (Nov. 23/24) In 2012, from early January to May (except for Holy Week April 4/5) we will read the Torah – Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy. These sessions will be held on Wednesdays January 11 through Wednesday May 23 from 12:30 to 2:00. We will also do the same program on Thursdays January 12 through May 24 from 7:30 to 9:00.
This site is intended to support the bible study program at St John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church in Columbia MD. I will posts notes from our study sessions here as well as links to articles and information about the bible that are on the internet.
My notes will appear in two general categories – Old Testament and New Testament. They are stored as “pages”.
Please feel free to use anything you find here! Give me some credit, leave some comments etc. if you can.
