Lectio: Philippians
Lectio: Philippians: Life in Christ
Toward the end of his life, under arrest and awaiting trial in Rome, Saint Paul writes a short but powerful letter to the Philippians. Paul's affection for the Christian community at Philippi is apparent from his opening words. The Philippians were not only Paul's sons and daughters in the Faith but also his partners in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
At the heart of this letter is Paul's eloquent hymn of Christ's total gift of self, the model for Paul's life. With his words and the example of his life, Paul exhorts the Philippians to have the mind of Christ, to live a life worthy of the Gospel, and, by God's grace, to gain Christ.
In six sessions, Dr. Tim Gray combines insight and practical guidance using the lectio divina disciplines to make the Scriptures come alive in Lectio: Philippians: Life in Christ.

Adult Faith Formation and Bible Study
If you have ever had a conversation with someone from another Christian faith tradition, you may have experienced the feeling that they seem to know more about the Bible than you. Queen of Angels is blessed to have had the opportunity to hold Bible studies for many years now.
Bible studies are currently offered Tuesday evenings. The studies we utilize are from Ascension Press, Word on Fire, St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, and the Augustine Institute. Studies vary from a quick look at salvation history in the Bible to a 26-week study on Church history. Most of the studies offer a video presentation by scholars, discussion time, and reading assignments for the next session.
If you are interested in attending, check the bulletin for upcoming classes. If you are interested in facilitating a class, please contact the parish office at 619-445-2145 or parishqofa@gmail.com.
