Topic: "Engaging with the 1st Century Cultural World of Jesus"

The Bible is a sacred story that is rooted deeply in both Judaism and in the cultural world that is the Middle East. The customs and traditions of both help a careful student unpack and understand passages that would otherwise make little sense to the sensitivities of the Western educated person of faith.
Jesus tells a leper who was healed in front of hundreds not to tell anyone what has been done for him. Yet he does. Openly and with enthusiasm. Why? Is he mocking Jesus? A Pharisee named Nicodemus visits Jesus at night. Why? Is he a coward? Is he trying to avoid being seen with the Rabbi from Nazareth? What are we to make of these and other similar passages?
In his presentation Bible Teacher Kevin Saunders will reveal and equip you with the cultural clues from the Middle East that will help you read and understand the Bible in a way that is fresh, engaging and unforgettable. We look at teaching principles, parables and the use of "secrets" to get the word about the Kingdom of God breaking forth in the world. You will love discovering the engaging cultural and geographical worlds of Jesus.
Kevin Saunders is a scripture scholar and the founder of Arizona Bible Class. Kevin holds a bachelor's degree in Religious Study from the University of Arizona. He also has completed master's degree in Theology and New Testament Study from the University of Notre Dame. He was admitted and has studied the New Testament as a doctoral candidate in New Testament Studies program at the Catholic University of America. Additionally, Kevin enhanced his study of the Bible in the Holy Land while living in the Old City of Jerusalem for a year.
Kevin is a popular retreat and seminar director. He is a married father of five adult children and a proud grandparent of five grandchildren. He is married to Diane Saunders. Diane is Director of Learning here at St. Charles.

2022 PARISH MISSION!
FINDING YOUR OWN PROPHETIC VOICE
MONDAY, MARCH 14TH - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16TH
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Guest Speaker: Sister Joann Heinritz, CSJ
Mark your calendar and don’t miss our Parish Lenten Mission on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (March 14, 15, and 16) at 7:00 p.m. in the Church. These Sessions will also be livestreamed.
Our parish Mission is a retreat designed to enhance your lives as Catholic Christian families and individuals. Our Church, like many others, has had its share of challenges. These challenges have affected our family's spiritual and interpersonal relationships.
As we now fully come together, we will take advantage of this Lenten season to heal and feel whole once again. This Lenten Mission will provide the opportunity for reflecting, praying, and finding our own prophetic voices. It is then that we will experience healing and wholeness. Be a part of the healing of our community.
Sister Joann Heinritz, a Sister of Saint Joseph of Carondelet, is an anointed and gifted preacher. She will lead us each night on our spiritual journey to experience God’s healing and the transformation of our community.
