adult education opportunities
If today were your last day, what would be most important? Would those tickets to the game be top on the list? Would that car or house which take so much time be up there? How about the video games or television shows, would they fill your last hours?
The fact is, if the Lord calls on us today, He will not care about most of the things with which we have filled our time.... things that can not bring us fulfillment.
But if we are to be prepared, spiritually, we must feed our souls. If we fed our bodies like we feed our souls many of us would be emaciated. So, with that in mind, I offer you an opportunity to get away from the things that fill your time, and be a part of something that will fill you!

Parish Leads 465 Members on a
‘Great Adventure’ of Scripture Study
By Jen Reed
The Catholic Witness
LEWISBURG – The perfect storm for Scripture study through The Great Adventure program has erupted at Sa- cred Heart of Jesus Parish.
Some 465 parishioners – yes, 465 – have expanded their understanding of Scripture and the Catholic faith through The Great Adventure’s 8-week Quick Journey, and the parish is looking to dive into the complete 24-week program beginning in September.
“I was looking for a program that would re-energize the parish. We wanted to do something big and spectacular,” Msgr. William Richardson, pastor, told The Catholic Wit- ness about the parish’s decision to explore the Scripture study. “We wanted to have something that would offer not only personal reflection and growth in the Scriptures but also something that would energize the parish.”
The Great Adventure is a Catholic Bible study system created by Jeff Cavins and published by Ascension Press. It makes the complex simple by teaching the story of the Bible.
