In-Person Bible Study
IN-PERSON BIBLE/BOOK STUDY

You probably know that we have had a vibrant online Bible/book study going on since the beginning of COVID. It has been a great success and I hope it continues to be a blessing to all who participate. But what about the people who can't join online? Well, you're in luck! In-person studies are in the parlor on Thursdays from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM. This will get everyone home before dark.

We will start with getting to know each other and where we are on our faith walk, and have a chance to share what it is we want to learn in the group. And then - we will start learning!

Hope to see you there.


Wednesday Night Bible Study

Led by our knowledgeable and passionate leaders, these sessions provide a supportive and welcoming environment for participants of all ages and backgrounds.
