Greetings Bible Study Brothers and Sisters!

The new year of Bible Study starts at Our Lady of La Salette on October 8 with two separate studies. Please spread the word!

Acts : The Spread of the Kingdom, led by Jeff Cavins and Sarah Christmyer, is the story of how a few Christians empowered by the Holy Spirit were chosen to bring Christ and the Good News to the ends of the earth. They faced secular forces, internal strife, and hostile crowds, and despite all this, they brought the kingdom of God to a broken world and the love of God to the hearts of men. Acts, a 20 week study, will help you to see your place in the Church as a disciple of Christ.

It starts on October 8 and runs each Tuesday at 7 p.m. until March, 2025. ZOOM access is also available.

The fee is $28. This includes the workbook.

NEW this year : If you intend to use Zoom to participate in the course you will also pay an additional fee of $5 that gives you access to the class videos online.

We are also offering :

Epic : The Early Church

In Epic: The Early Church, a 10 week study, you will get to know the people and events that shaped its first five hundred years. You will see how the Church Fathers boldly confronted early challenges to the Faith—challenges like the ones we face today.

It starts on October 8 and runs each Tuesday at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. (your choice) until December 17.  ZOOM access is also available.

The fee is $19. This includes the workbook, a Timeline chart and a bookmark.

NEW this year : If you intend to use Zoom to participate in the course you will also pay an additional fee of $4 that gives you access to the class videos online.

For both studies

Study format may be familiar - sessions start with prayer and discussion and end with the showing of a video. Sessions last from 1 1/2 to 2 hours total. Both studies have their in-person location at the Our Lady of La Salette Parish Activities Building, 2599 Harvard Road, Berkley. 

Although the workbook is provided, you will need a Bible (Ascension Press refers to the RSV2CE version but other Catholic Bibles are fine) and a Catechism of the Catholic Church for Bible Study.

For more information, and to register and pay for the class(es) you want to take, please go to the parish Bible Study web page at lasalette-church.org/b.

NOTE : Online registration will be available this Saturday afternoon, August 24 but in person registration is offered this weekend at all Masses at Our Lady of La Salette. You can pay there by check or cash. Credit card payments will be available online when the website is updated.

REGISTRATION CLOSES SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 but please sign up as soon as possible.

Questions? Send an email to biblestudy@lasalette-c or call Mike Kennedy at (248) 229-8057.

If needed, help is available if cost is a barrier to any who wish to participate.

Thanks for your continued support and prayers for Bible Study at Our Lady of La Salette.

FAMILY SENT ON MISSION

DIVINE PROVIDENCE’S PRAYER INTENTIONS

FOR SEPTEMBER 2024

Mission Statement:  We of the Divine Providence Lithuanian Parish strive to be an open, welcoming and caring Catholic community of believers who are called to share, renew and grow in our faith, love of God and one another.   Because we are an ethnic parish, we strive to preserve our Lithuanian heritage by promoting the use of the Lithuanian language in the church liturgy and supporting Lithuanian cultural, educational and social activities in the adjacent Cultural Center.  We embrace Jesus by following his teachings, values and examples, and put our faith into action through service and outreach to those in need. 

Brothers and sisters, remembering that God gives himself to us without limits, with firm conviction let us pray that He would bless our lives.

• We pray that the Church will always remember that the Kingdom of God is already in the world and that the power of the Holy Spirit is growing every day.

• We pray that all people, nations and states will accept the gift of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, uniting all differences.

• We pray that the sick and those tormented by pain of spirit and body may be comforted and strengthened by the cross of Christ.

Lord of infinite mercy, knowing the ways and stumbles of the world, hear our prayer and draw your Son to us. He lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen
