Our next talk takes place on Wednesday 4 December, 7.30pm at St Joseph's Church in Chalfont St Peter (SL9 8RY). The topic is ‘The Story of Ruth’ and the speaker is Dr Jessie Rogers.
Ruth: A Story of Surprising Faithfulness.
We will explore the short story of Ruth and Naomi and their intertwined journeys of faith. As a story of redemption set in Bethlehem, it is a wonderful text for the beginning of Advent.
Jessie Rogers lectures in Scripture at St Patrick’s Pontifical University, Maynooth and is the Director of the Centre for Mission and Ministries. She is a founding member of Tarsus Scripture School which offers online Scripture programmes, and of Godly Play Ireland. Originally from South Africa, Jessie is married and has three daughters.

A series of monthly talks on the Holy Scriptures, looking at their relevance to us in our lives today. An initiative by the South Bucks Pastoral Area under the guidance of Fr Jerome Ituah OCD.
The aim of our sessions is to broaden our knowledge of and to discern the message the Scriptures hold for each of us and their relevance in our daily lives today. Each talk will “stand alone” and will be given by an invited guest speaker. We hope the sessions will offer guidance on reading the Scriptures and a prayerful and reflective time together.
There is no charge for the talks, but donations towards costs will be gratefully accepted. You can make a contribution by cash (donation basket in the church porch), cheque made payable to "Saint Teresa’s Beaconsfield" with "Emmaus Donation" on the reverse, or by bank transfer per details below.
