Adult Faith Formation

FAITH AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
St. Andrew provides a variety of opportunities that allow participants to grow closer to Christ and His Church through the study of Sacred Scripture and a Speaker Series. Some faith activities are weekly study programs that combine individual study and small group discussions along with DVD lectures. Other programs are one-time events designed to enrich our faith and bring us closer to God.

• LECTIO: PETER: THE CORNERSTONE OF CATHOLICISM – St. Peter is both inspiring and confounding to many of us. How could a stubborn and impulsive fisherman become the "rock" upon which Jesus would build his Church? Bringing together biblical accounts, historical evidence, Church teaching, classical art, and personal insights, Dr. Tim Gray gives a fresh perspective on Simon Peter that is immediately informative and relevant to our lives. After all, if Jesus could bring out the very best in someone like Peter, then there is hope for the rest of us! Our weekly Bible Study is held every Tuesday beginning September 12, 2023 at 7:15 p.m. at the Bryce Eck Center and includes a short video followed by small group discussions. The study guide, leader guide and videos for this study are available (free) on Formed, and more information will be provided at the first evening.

 

WALKING WITH PURPOSE
Created just for women, this personal Bible study and small group discussion is designed to help each of us enjoy a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  WWP meets on Wednesdays, 7:30 to 9 p.m., in the Multipurpose Room.
