Learning
Activities:
| Bible Study Group |
A group meets with the pastor on Sunday morning after worship to discuss that day’s service and reflect on the scriptures that will be read at the next Sunday’s service. All benefit from this reflection and study. |
| Additional Study |
Twice a year we have a weeknight series focusing on the Bible, practicing our faith or some other topic chosen by the previous session participants. We begin with a light supper for fellowship before joining in study, prayer and reflection. |
