Reading the Bible can be intimidating to some and confusing to others, and many don’t know where to start, so they leave it on the shelf. This fall, All Saints will offer the
8-week, Jeff Cavins study,
Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible
, which aims to make the complex simple.
This study presents the “big picture” of the Bible, showing how 14 narrative books of the bible tell the complete story from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church. The program offers a brief introduction to the books of both the Old and New Testament that fit into an historical outline so that it is easier to find the meaning of each book. It teaches the basics of reading the Bible so it is ideal for beginners, but also incorporates in depth knowledge for those that are more experienced.
Small groups will meet weekly beginning the week of 9/22. Meetings include video presentation and discussion. Current groups available are: Tuesdays 7-8:30pm; Wednesdays 10-11:30am; or Thursdays 7-8:30pm. Signup sheets are in the Narthex, or online at
allsaintsdunwoody.org/adult-education
.
The student workbook can be purchased online for $24.95. The books’ web page will appear after you register online, or a link can be found on our website.

Have you started your Cursillo?
The Cursillo method takes a Christian beyond a passive belief in God to a daily interaction with God and His people, helping one to become more committed in Christ. A Cursillo weekend is not simply a retreat, but rather the beginning of a person’s life-long growth as a Christian. If you are interested in deepening your faith and growing in Christian community, Cursillo may be just what you’re looking for.
The Cursillo Journey begins with a three-day weekend experience which invites Catholics to dive deeper into the well of our faith and personally connect with God’s unlimited love. The Atlanta Archdiocese Cursillo weekends will be held at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers. Weekends begin Thursday evening and conclude Sunday afternoon. (Men, October 10-13: Women October 17-20)
