A Biblical Walk Through the Mass - Beginning January 19
The Mass is nothing short of amazing. Through it, we encounter God in the most intimate way possible as we hear him speak to us in the Liturgy of the Word and as we receive him Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist. In his video-based study A Biblical Walk Through the Mass, Dr. Edward Sri explores the roots of the words and gestures we experience at Mass and explains their profound significance. This fascinating tour of the Mass will renew your faith and deepen your love for and devotion to the Holy Eucharist. This is a wonderful way to prepare for Lent. Join us for A Biblical Walk Through the Mass beginning January 19. Contact Barbara Brown, mountainkid@comcast.net for more information.
