Catholic Roots Class! For this class, our goal is to look at Scripture and the Catechism to establish a really strong & systematic foundation for your faith. The classes will have a presentation each week, with question-driven content, so we can go deeper into the unique areas of interest for anyone involved. This class is designed for people who are new to the faith or people who want to have a stronger faith foundation. …. If you're an "expert," this likely isn't the class for you! This 10 week course starts Sept 16, Mondays from 4:30-6pm. The loose schedule looks like this: Introductions and Creation, Old Testament, New Testament, Creed, Sacraments, Life in Christ, Prayer and Spirituality, Since those are all pretty big topics, the last three classes are "blank" so that we have wiggle room to spend multiple days on a topic as questions/interest dictates. If there's interest, we may also consider doing a three-week Advent series or a spring class to follow up and continue to dive deeper. Email [email protected] if you’re interested!
