SIC Scripture Study (SSS) group was originally called Little Rock Scripture Study (LRSS) which originated in America and was launched on 30 Oct 2004. SSS is designed for Catholics to get in touch with God’s Word everyday through the Gospel. It aims to inculcate a greater love for the Word of God and a deeper understanding of Sacred Scripture via Bible study programmes.
SSS is suitable for newly-baptised Catholics (i.e. those who have completed RCIA) and for Catholics who have not experienced other Bible studies. Mature Catholics are also encouraged to attend to gain new insights from Bible scholars and share faith experiences with their brothers and sisters in Christ.
Unless advised otherwise, lessons are currently being held from 8 pm to 10 pm.
The patron saint of SSS is St Paul the Apostle. Many of his writings are contained in the canon of the Bible and have influenced the growth and development of the Church since the first century. Regarded as the first great Christian theologian, St Paul is often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity.
