FULFILLED, PART TWO
Facilitated in Ballantyne by Christine Corbly
Fulfilled explores the biblical roots of Catholicism. It uncovers God’s consistent design for our worship of him and his relationship with us. Part Two focuses on elements of the outer sanctuary of the tabernacle and how they connect to the Magisterium, the Eucharist, Incense, Mary and more.
Tuesdays ~ 10 am to noon ~ Apr. 14 to June 16 ~ NLC Room 202

REVELATION
Facilitated in Ballantyne by Ron Groover and in Waxhaw by Christine Corbly
Discover what the mysterious figures and images of Revelation mean and see how Revelation is more than an apocalyptic vision of the “end times.” Explore the Church’s teaching on the second coming of Christ and the Last Judgment. Understand how God, the Divine Bridegroom, and the Church, his spotless bride, enter into a heavenly, holy, and mystical marriage every time we celebrate Mass.
