Every year during the season of Easter, the book of the Acts of the Apostles shows up in our Sunday readings, and for good reason! These are the stories of the lives of Jesus’ followers after the resurrection, and of the spread of the Good News in the earliest days of the Church.
For our Easter season Bible study, we’ll read through the Acts of the Apostles. We will meet on Sundays in the Wilks room in our Parish House, after the 10 am service—so get a cup of coffee and a snack from coffee hour, and join in!
We’ll try to read about 4 chapters a week. You’re encouraged to read Acts 1-4 before the first session—but do come whether or not you’ve been able to complete the week’s reading! Here’s our schedule:
Week 1 | April 16th | Acts 1 – 4
Week 2 | April 23rd | Acts 5 – 8
Week 3 | April 30th | Acts 9 – 12
Week 4 | May 7 | Acts 13 – 16
Week 5 | May 14 | Acts 17 – 20
Week 6 | May 21 | Acts 21 – 24
Week 7 | May 28 | Acts 25 – 28

The following are suggestions only and are not required to participate!

The Transition Committee invites our Diocese to join together in prayer as we prepare for the consecration on May 20th:
Loving God, as Ecclesiastes reminds us, “For everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven.” We are in a time of change and transition as we give thanks for the ministry of Bishop Dietsche as our Bishop and look toward the consecration of the Bishop Coadjutor Elect, Fr. Matthew Heyd. We ask your presence as we celebrate the blessings of leadership we have known and hope for blessings yet to come. Be with Bishop Dietsche and his family as he approaches retirement and be with Fr. Heyd and his family as he prepares for his consecration as a Bishop. Let this be a time of listening and discernment as we hear your calling of us to work together to bear witness to God’s kingdom here in the Diocese of New York and in the world. We ask this in your most holy name. Amen.
