Wisdom: God’s vision for life.
Saint Mariana’s bi-weekly English Bible Study opens the wisdom books of Scripture — practical, ancient, and unfailingly relevant.
This Season’s Series
The Series
After concluding our journey through the Acts of the Apostles, the Bible Study Family nominated Wisdom: God’s Vision for Life by Thomas Smith and Jeff Cavins (Ascension Press). Across eight sessions we explore what Proverbs, Sirach, Wisdom, and Ecclesiastes teach about decision-making, finances, relationships, peace of mind, speech, age — and ultimately, wisdom in Christ.
Each Evening
📅 Video presentation · snack break · group discussion · closing prayer
📖 Opening Scripture: Sirach 1:11–20; Proverbs 9:10
🕑 7:00–8:30 PM
📍 Saint Juan Diego Room
Each evening stands on its own — come for the whole series or the topics that speak to your life. Workbooks will be available; details soon. No preparation needed for the first session — just come, and bring a friend.
