Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible Series
Sunday, May 1 at 10:30 AM Emory University Cannon Chapel Room 105D
Many Catholics want to read the Bible because they know it is God’s Word, but they give up because it seems so complicated. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible helps you get the “big picture” by showing how fourteen narrative books of the Bible tell the complete story from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church. Presenter Jeff Cavins shows you how to read the Bible so that you can actually understand it. Aided by the unique color-coded Bible Timeline® Chart, which arranges the key people, places, and events of Scripture in chronological order, Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible will help you discover the story of salvation history and understand how you fit into God’s plan. This eight-session study program includes video presentations that explore all twelve time periods of The Bible Timeline Chart.

Synod on Synodality Survey

Complete the online survey here
We have been invited to participate in an unprecedented moment in our Church’s history. On Sunday, Oct. 10, Pope Francis opened a two-year process called the Synod on Synodality (For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, and Mission) that will uniquely engage not only Catholics but God’s people all over the world. We invite you now to lend your voice to this process by completing this online survey.  
In the meantime, please consider reading the preparatory documents for the Synod and other supporting materials.

Support Your Campus Ministry
You may not think you’re in a position to make a difference through charitable giving, however, we believe that learning to support the mission of the Church is an integral part of being formed as a disciple. Charitable giving is an act of love, rooted in Christ. Please consider making or inviting your family to make a small sacrificial gift in support of our daily ministry expenses - the Masses, programs and events, salaries for staff, and more rely heavily on your support! We humbly ask that you consider making a contribution
