1st and 2nd Corinthians
From Catholic Scripture Study International
Catholic Scripture Study International (CSS) is an in-depth yet easy to understand study that is written in light of Catholic Tradition. It offers solid scripture teaching that is easy for beginners to understand, yet informative and challenging enough for the more advanced Bible student. This is the sixteenth year that CSS is offered at our parish. However, no previous Bible Study experience is necessary in order to enjoy these classes!
Classes will take place on Monday evenings and on Thursday mornings. Choose the day most convenient for you! Classes for 1st and 2nd Corinthians will begin with an introductory class on Monday, August 30 at 7PM, and Thursday, September 2 at 9:45AM. Steve Ray has written the commentary, and Fr. Patrick Winslow gives the lectures, for this study. We have enjoyed Steve Ray's commentaries and Fr. Patrick's lectures in previous studies!
Lectures: We will have links to the lecture videos so we can watch them on our computers at home, and we will view a lecture video at the beginning of each class.
Classes: At this time we plan to meet in the Education Center to begin with prayer, watch the lecture together, and then break into small groups for discussion in other classrooms. If, for some reason, we are not able to use the classrooms at MBS, we would watch the lecture videos together on Zoom at 7PM on Mondays, or 9:45AM on Thursdays, and then, 30 minutes later, the small groups will each have a separate Zoom meeting for their discussions. The small group leaders will send an invitation each week to the members of their groups so that everyone can sign-in on a computer or an iPhone. If you have not used Zoom before, we wouldl be happy to give you instructions. The homework for all classes each week includes reading the commentary, and answering 7 or 8 questions.
