Join us at Beacon of Hope United Methodist Church for our Wednesday Night Bible Study! We gather together virtually via Zoom from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
This engaging and enriching study offers a wonderful opportunity to:
- Delve deeper into God's word
- Discuss scripture
- Grow in faith with fellow believers
- Explore questions of spirituality
Led by our knowledgeable and passionate leaders, these sessions provide a supportive and welcoming environment for participants of all ages and backgrounds.
Homework before Wednesday's study:
Our Wednesday Evening Study is taking a week off!
No study next week - enjoy your Christmastide!
We will be starting up again on Wednesday, January 7th at 7:00PM. Our new study is called "The Faith of a Mockingbird". This study helps us grow in our faith using the story To Kill a Mockingbird as the vehicle for it. So - if you want to join this study, for 4 weeks, I strongly urge you to either read the book before the 7th, or watch the movie version (with Gregory Peck!). It is one of the best examples of a movie following the book accurately that I've seen. I am really looking forward to this study. I hope to see you there!
Join us on Wednesday evening, 7:00 PM-8:00 PM, through Zoom. Let's wrestle with these questions together!
We invite you to join us as we embark on a journey together in pursuit of spiritual growth and enlightenment.
Get ready, your month is about to start soon!
