Lenten Scripture studies offered at Sacred Heart Monastery

YANKTON, S.D. — The Benedictine Peace Center is hosting two Scripture Study groups, using the Little Rock Scripture Study.

The morning series, The Sermon on the Mount, will be facilitated by Sr. Doris Oberembt, meeting Wednesdays, at 9:30-11 a.m., for five Wednesdays beginning Ash Wednesday, Feb. 26. The deadline for registration is Feb. 24, so that books may be ordered.

The Sermon on the Mount is the heart of Jesus’ moral teaching in the gospels for all Christians. This study will challenge us to recognize in this teaching the path that Jesus shows us to follow if we are to live faithfully and lovingly as His disciples. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Pilgrim People, facilitated by Sr. Mary Jo Polak, will meet 7-8:30 p.m., Wednesdays, beginning March 4 for five Wednesdays. The registration deadline is Feb. 24 for Pilgrim People.

This Scripture study will follow the Old Testament journeys of Abraham and Sarah, the Exodus, and the Exile, and lead us into our journey for today, the journey of being a disciple of Jesus. We can learn from the pilgrims of long ago, as well as from our fellow pilgrims in this Wednesday community of faith.
