Bible Study Living the Word: Faith in Action
Saturday, October 3rd, October 31st, December 12th, 10:30 a.m. at Herbergsgasse 7 in Basel. Studying the Bible is about discovering who God is and learning how to walk faithfully with Him. It draws on centuries of wisdom about who we are as human beings—and who we are called to become. This group will explore Scripture together, with a focus on discussion and reflection on how its knowledge can shape our daily lives. Each session includes a short reading, guided reflection, and open discussion. No prior Bible knowledge is needed—only a willingness to grow, ask honest questions, and consider what it means to follow Christ in a real and practical way. Whether you are a Christian believer or simply curious about Christianity, you are warmly welcome to join us. Led by: Leon and Alessia – with spiritual guidance from university chaplain Andreas Schalbetter SJ. Do you have any questions? Email address: biblestudy.basel@gmail.com
