A 2-session bible study with Lizzie Berne DeGear, BCC, PhD
Wednesday, September 8th and
Wednesday September 15th
from 7:00-7:45pm EST
As Catholics, we know that Scripture can be a powerful tool in spiritual discernment.
So let it be with Discerning Deacons! In celebration of Saint Phoebe, NACC Chaplain and Bible scholar Lizzie Berne DeGear is offering three 45-minute zoom study sessions where we will delve into the original Greek and Hebrew of our Bible to tap into the scriptural roots of the diaconate. Together let’s discover the gospel heart of this ministry! No prior knowledge or study is required to participate, just curiosity and a desire for the wholeness of our Church.
