EASTER SEASON
Small groups continue to meet, you are welcome to join us:
FAITH AND LIFE GROUPS
If you’d like to try out a small group during the Easter season, we will be starting discussion of Acts of the Apostles, the story of the Church after Jesus’ resurrection. We will pray and share life and learn more about Paul, Peter, and others spreading the message of Christ which continues to be our call (see Jesus’ Great Commission in Matthew 28:1-20).
Take a look at this introductory video on Formed.org:
New Testament: Acts of the Apostles with Mark Hart
Monday 1pm at St Bruno
OR
Monday 8pm Zoom*
OR
Thursday 7:30pm Zoom*
Come join us for just 4 sessions during the weeks of 4/18, 4/25, 5/16, 5/23.
Homework:
Before each session, please read:
Week of 4/18 Acts chapters 1-5
Week of 4/25 read Acts chapters 6-11
Week of 5/16 read Acts chapters 12-17
Week of 5/23 read Acts chapters 18-28
Jot down one or two things that strike you. Ponder why it struck you. Don't worry about all the names and details. We are reading to get an overview of the birth of the church. When we discuss, others will have different insights to share - that is what is so cool about a bible study!
If you cannot make any of those times, I just KNOW you CAN do this on your own – call a friend to join you for faith and life sharing.
Looking ahead, small groups will be in full swing this fall including men’s groups, mom’s groups, Alpha, and more. Check in again in September for more details.
THE CHOSEN
Thursdays 9:30-11:00am St Paul January 13-May 12
The Chosen is a television drama based on the life of Jesus of Nazareth, created, directed and co-written by American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. It is the first multi-season series about the life of Jesus, and season one was the top crowd-funded TV series or film project of all time. The series' creators stated that they had hoped to distinguish the new series from previous portrayals of Jesus by crafting a multi-season, episode-based story. The series portrays Jesus "through the eyes of those who met him".
The show has used innovative methods to finance its production and stream the series. The show is financed via crowdfunding; the show is free to watch and viewers are asked to "pay it forward" by contributing whatever amount they wish to fund future seasons. As of 2021, viewers had contributed $40 million towards its production, making it by far the most successful crowdfunded entertainment project.
