Revelations Study Group with Rev. John LaVoe
2023-11-08 13:30 - 15:00 | St. Margaret’s, 47 Jordan Road, New Hartford, NY, 13413, United States
Wednesdays at 1:30 PM from October 4th to November 8th
The last book in the New Testament is the least understood, with bodacious beasts, bombastic blasts from heaven, and the Armageddon Showdown. Yet, it also shows heavenly visions, glittering city planning, and a thousand year respite free of everything nasty. Is it fantasy, is it prophecy, or is it more than it’s given credit for? Why is this book in the Bible?
The Rev. Dr. John LaVoe will lead an “all expense paid” tour of the Book of Revelation on Wednesday afternoons in 6 one-hour segments at St. Margaret’s House beginning October 4th. Two sessions ease the way into the book, two more plumb the “why, what, and wherefore” of apocalyptic, and the final two dwell in the eternal Jerusalem from heaven with its peaceful, perfectly de-Satanized 1,000 year prelude. No text book will be required; resources will be mentioned throughout for those ambitious and intrigued enough to pursue them. Reading the chapters of Revelation will be requested and an occasional exercise suggested.
Please register with St. Margaret’s by September 28th. Don’t be the first on your block to say “Im a-gedden’ out o’ here!” Take advantage of this ideal chance to find God’s heart, mind, and spirit in the last book of the New Testament: the Book of Revelation. The Revelation to John. The Apocalypse.

The Journey: Shepherding God’s People (For: Clergy, Lay Pastors, Mission Teams, Women and Men’s Groups, Activity Directors, Spiritual Coordinators, Hospice and Palliative Care Chaplains, and Senior Housing Personnel)
2023-11-09 09:00 - 11:30 | St. Margaret’s, 47 Jordan Road, New Hartford, NY, 13413, United States
You are invited to learn more about “THE JOURNEY-SHEPHERDING GOD’S PEOPLE” (thejourneyvideo.com) a video and bible study series that is fully funded through the generosity of St. Joseph’s Pastoral Care, Inc and offered to all people who are seeking news ways of finding spiritual wellness throughout the year. This program is geared to inspire and create an environment for group gatherings to look at scripture with new eyes each month.
During this time, we will discuss new ways of experiencing a time of worship along with the opportunity to delve deeper into scripture using the prepared bible studies. This program can be personalized for each setting whether weekly bible study, Advent, Epiphany, Lent or community worship with those who are not able to attend church service in a traditional manner. You, as leaders, will be able to specifically choose what is best for each group setting using the materials.
From our time together you will be able to review all videos, bible studies with attached questions and a poster for each gathering. The goal will be to offer this ecumenical ministry to all who value spiritual wellness by means of grace, hope and reassurance of God’s love for all people.
The presenters are Rev. Carol Jubenville, Methodist Pastor and Fr. John Buehler, Roman Catholic Priest. Please call St. Margaret’s House to register ten days prior to either retreat. Registration is $10 for refreshments with a maximum of 25 people. Choose one or come to both! Please bring your laptop, tablet, or phone to use to gain a full experience. If none of these dates are convenient for your group, please call and request a time that would work best for your organization either at St. Margaret’s House or your facility.
