The Life of Jesus Told By His Chosen Disciples
THE CHOSEN
Interactive Bible Study!
The Chosen is a spectacular, faith-based, multi-season television series based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and focused on unifying people of different faiths and backgrounds. The disciples who Jesus chose, tell us about their interactions with Him in a beautiful and believably way; through their eyes and how they were so greatly impacted.
St. Joseph’s will be hosting these bible studies at the Parish Center accompanied with a light meal. We will watch one episode of Season 2 each week, followed by a fruitful discussion.
