A Quick Journey through the Bible is the "tip of the iceberg" in the Great Adventure Bible series published by Ascension Press.  This thoroughly Catholic Bible study gives a complete overview of salvation history from Genesis through the establishment of the Church in only eight weeks.  Registration: $40.    303-715-3260

Eight classes starting Wed. Sept. 16

Instructor: Aimee Milburn Cooper.

All “gospels” are not the same. This fact is confirmed by the thousands of Protestant sects and churches that have emerged since the Reformation. Each one claims to preach the Gospel. But there’s only one Gospel, which the Catholic Church has preserved in its entirety for two thousand years.  What is the gospel?  If someone asked you, could you explain it to them?

Based on Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Magisterial documents,
the Church Fathers, saints, mystics and Doctors of the Church, this class will challenge you intellectually and inspire you personally. Above all, this course will empower you
“to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope” (1 Peter 3:15) and to do so with joy and confidence.
