FaithWorx - The Final "Acts" - Sunday 6:30pm-8pm

Please join us this week to watch the final installment of

 

ACTS

 

from the Visual Bible

 

 

We plunge into the tempestuous years of conflict, danger and turmoil, as the young Christian church opens its arms to the "Gentile" world. Journey with Paul, Barnabas, Silas and Timothy as they teach and baptize, establish churches and plant the seeds of faith throughout Asia Minor, Greece and Macedonia. Share each success and setback. The full force and consequences of Paul's powerful commitment are now unleashed. Listen to the passionate eloquence that stirs the ancient world ... shatters old beliefs ... transcends differences of race and culture ... and opens new vistas of possibility in man's relationship with God. We return with Paul to Jerusalem. He ignores repeated warnings of personal danger to follow the call of the Holy Spirit. Witness the pivotal events that will carry the flame of faith from dusty Judea to the heart of the Roman empire. The passionate beliefs and eloquent words of this charismatic Roman Jew shakes the worldly cynicism of kings and politicians. Then living amid the splendor of imperial Rome, Paul continues to teach and baptize. He strives for harmony between Jewish tradition and Christian belief. Paul's travels and writings plant the seeds of change that revolutionize the civilized world.

 

 

Sunday 6:30pm-8pm

St John the Evangelist Hall, Meeting Room

Cost: Gold coin donation

Techno Catholic links

Hi everyone, Pete here.

The Internet is a wide and (sometimes) wonderful place. Here are a couple of links to satisfy the techno-Catholic inside many of us.

http://www.pray-as-you-go.org/

The above site is run by the Jesuits in Britain, and offers excellent daily prayers to download and play on your computer or mp3 player. Turn a dull commute to work into a meditation with God. Great stuff.

http://sqpn.com/category/talkshows/daily-breakfast-with-fr-roderick/

The DailyBreakfast is a podcast hosted by Fr Roderich, a Dutch Priest who discusses topics ranging from cooking and movies to questions regarding our Faith. The Daily Breakfast is part of a Catholic video and audio podcast network called SQPN. Definitely worth checking out.

Enjoy!
