All are invited to join the Lenten book study of the Acts of the Apostles led by Fr. Richard on Thursdays in Lent via Zoom, 6:15-7:30 pm. The study will be based on the Booklet: Risk: Through Lent With Acts. The booklet is available in Kindle format. It is not required for participation.
Fr. Richard provides the following info:
Each week:
In preparation for the study I will ask that you read 4-6 chapters of Acts (it’s not as much as it
sounds).
-Each session will open with prayer.
-We will read an introduction to the day’s focused passage / topic.
-A short explanation and reflection on the week’s chosen passage (we will read that passage again
as a group.)
-Discussion questions related to those questions.
-Closing prayer.
-Each session will be 75 minutes.
Here are the focus topics:
