Catholic bible study

Known as CBS

 

Timeline of Biblical and World Events

 

 

 

Meets Thursday 8-9 pm at the Catholic Newman Center (click for directions).

 

Student Leaders: Tessa Turnbull, -6665, and Janet Coco, -6015

 

 

On Thursday evening October 9, 2003, a Catholic study group Tessa has been hoping for met for the first time at 8 pm.  Responses were invited to the question: “What do you hope for à study group? faith sharing? mixture of both? what format?”  The decision we made was to have more of a study than a prayer gathering.  We called the sessions Catholic Bible Study (CBS). 

 

 

Curious ?   Read below and/or ask someone who has participated:

 


Beth Heithoff, Jamie Talbott, Janet Coco, Kelly Chocholousek, Lisa Lange, Melissa

Slaymaker, Michael Jacobson, Tessa Turnbull, Christopher Warnick, and Sr. Cynthia.
