Sunday AM Bible Study             
Ministry Contact: Chuck Lynch  (812-951-3664)
Our Sunday group continued to gather in the cafeteria classroom to study the weekly readings and reflect on the Gospel. We are supported each week by a 6-minute video Opening the Word and handouts from FORMED. Another handout Bringing Home the Word from Liguori Press is also used. Prayer and faith sharing are a major part of this time together. The strength of faith gained from community is most evident. When classroom meetings ended in March because of COVID-19, we went online with FORMED and continued the handouts by email. Most importantly, we stayed connected prayerfully with a weekly updated prayer list of requests and reflections, being able to share in each  other’s concerns. Even now, you are invited to join us in the email group for prayer and weekly reflection on the Sunday readings.

In 2020-21, we will continue with the Letters of John.
