Christ the King offers several Bible Study classes throughout the school year with weekly meetings taking place at times convenient for participants. Classes usually take place over the course of several weeks and make use of materials produced by experts in the particular topic being covered. Past classes offered at Christ the King include "Mary: A Biblical Walk with the Blessed Mother," "A Biblical Walk through the Mass," "Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to Come" and Jeff Cavins' "The Bible Timeline: The Story of Salvation." If you become aware of a Bible Study that you think would be of benefit to our parishioners, please contact the Discipleship & Evangelization Office.

Wednesdays at 1pm (begins 9/13/23)
Acts is the story of how a few Christians, empowered by the Holy Spirit, were chosen to bring Christ and the Good News to the ends of the earth. They faced secular forces, internal strife, and hostile crowds, and despite all of this, they brought the kingdom of God to a broken world and the love of God to the hearts of men.
Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom traces how the gospel witness spread outward in waves from Jerusalem, and reveals how the seeds of Church structure and authority took root. Presenter Jeff Cavins shows how the joys and struggles of the early Christians in living the life of Christ apply to us today.
Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom will help you to see your place in the Church as a disciple of Christ.
Wednesdays at 6:30pm (meets 1/24, 1/31, 2/7, 2/21, 2/28, 3/6 & 3/13)
Cultivate a Rich and Lasting Prayer Life
Do you ever hear Catholics talk about prayer but feel like you can’t relate?
You know prayer is important, but you still find it challenging. Perhaps it’s hard to find time to pray, or you’re unsure what to do when you do pray. Or maybe you feel restless and distracted and don’t feel close to God.
You might struggle to trust God and surrender to his will. Or maybe you feel discouraged by your many weaknesses and your inability to overcome them. Ultimately, you worry that what you’re doing in prayer isn’t “working,” because you aren’t seeing major changes in your life.
If you have any of these feelings, you are not alone. Many of the saints had similar ones. Even the saints struggled in prayer, had complicated problems, and made mistakes. They were like us. But each time they fell, they got up again and learned to rely more on God’s grace. And eventually they were changed.
What God did in countless saints, he wants to do in ordinary people like us. And that’s what this book is about: the journey God wants to take us on in our prayer life.
Inspired by the real example of the saints, we will learn how to pray with the same consistency, trust, peace, and passion that led to deep transformation in their souls. When You Pray: A Clear Path to a Deeper Relationship with God will help you begin your journey of prayer, rejuvenate your prayer life, and strengthen your relationship with God so that you can give God your entire heart.
