What is BETA?
BETA is not a single set program. It’s a community of
small groups and catechetical sessions focused on being disciples of Jesus.
Each semester there will be different opportunities for small groups to participate in the deepening and strengthening of this call to discipleship.
So what's going on this Summer?! -

Wednesday Morning Bible StudyWednesday morning bible study with Jan Haselschwerdt has begun on Wednesdays, at 9:00 A.M. in the Adult Education room across from the Parish office.
Little Rock Scripture Reimagined The Book of Genesis, Part IThe new evangelization calls us to Reclaim Our Own Story. The Sacred Scriptures, the stories of Israel, of Jesus and of the Church are our stories. As Catholics, how comfortable are we with Scriptures? Can we grow in our understanding? Can we share our common stories? A good Study of the Bible can help us address these questions.
We began a six week Study of the Book of Genesis, Part I. Genesis Part II, another six session study, will continue immediatly.
All are welcome to attend. No previous Bible Study required. Classes meet on Wednesdays from 9:00-10:15. Questions?
