Fall 2020 Bible Study
Jesus: The Way, The Truth, and the Life
This fall, Immaculate Conception is pleased to offer Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life, a 10-week video-based bible study program. Anchored in the life of Christ as presented in the Gospels, this study explores the entirety of Jesus’ life—who he is, what he is really like, what he taught, what he did for our salvation, and what all of this means for us as Catholics today.
Presented by Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio, Jeff Cavins, and Dr. Edward Sri, this study was filmed in the Holy Land so Catholics can experience the extraordinary world in which Jesus lived and taught—the historical context, the politics, the clashing cultures, the history, and the ancient land—and see where the most significant events of his life took place, from his infancy to his ascension. Most importantly, this encounter with Christ will inspire and empower you to center your entire life in him as you come to know and love him in an ever-deeper and more intimate way.
DATES/TIMES: September 13 to November 15, 2020 / Sunday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m.

St. Matthew Catholic Church
2310 1st Ave NE
6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Speaker: Jenny Chadima
Jenny Chadima found herself lost, hopeless, and in the dark after her father’s death. She turned to drugs and alcohol to cope, only to find things getting worse. After hearing a whisper from God, she realized she needed to come back to church for help and healing. It was through helping others and finding time in quiet prayer that she started to encounter God in a very personal way.
A lite meal will be served.
Child care will be available.
This event is FREE and ALL are welcome.
