The Bible Timeline is a twenty-four-week program that takes participants on a journey through the entire Bible. They will go deep into each period of salvation history and discover the amazing story woven throughout all of Scripture. Using a unique color-coded system, they will learn the major people, places, and events of the Bible and see how they all come together to reveal the remarkable story of our faith.
The program will be given in two 12-week sessions, first 12 weeks will be from February 11th, 2019 thru April 29th, 2019, we will break for spring and summer and start the second 12 weeks in September 2019.
Participants will learn the amazing story of the people, places, and events in the Bible and how it all fits together to reveal Gods plan for humanity, and how the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New Testament through Christ and the Church.

**IMPORTANT**

Recently the Office of Borough President James Oddo put out a misleading statement on Facebook concerning the sale of St. Anthony of Padua Church.  We have received many phone calls that St. Anthony’s Church was closing.

Rest assured, this is NOT the case.  

St. Anthony of Padua Church is NOT for sale and is NOT closing, however, the adjacent property and rectory only is for sale.   That is the property Borough President Oddo was referring to.
