The study is called the Turning Point and is a nine-session Bible study experience that’s perfect for people who want to get to know Jesus in the Scriptures.   This study will introduce you to people and stories in the Gospel of John that you won’t find anywhere else in the Bible: the woman at the well; a man named Nicodemus; the woman caught in adultery; and Lazarus. Stories about Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana, Jesus washing the feet of his disciples, and Peter’s marvelous redemption after he denies Jesus three times. The people in these stories were transformed by their encounters with Jesus. By entering into their miraculous stories, you will encounter Jesus in a personal way and develop a deeper relationship with him that will transform your everyday life.

Come to join us on Monday evenings at 7 pm in the parish center starting on September 17^th.  The study is designed by Dr. Allan Hunt who is a nationally known Catholic communicator, Bible teacher, and bestselling author. He is also Vice President for strategy and content for Dynamic Catholic. 
Cost is $16.00 for materials.  Please register by calling the rectory and speaking with either Joanne Callari or Frank Marchese at (718)494-0308.  For more information, you can also contact Vincent Violetta at (917) 836-5920.
