Thursday Bible Study
We will begin a new series on Thursday, September 20. We meet at 9:30 a.m. in the Conference Room. Our series this time is called Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi. New Testament scholar, Amy-Jill Levine will analyze and illuminate Jesus’ parables, helping us to understand how the people in Jesus’ time would have understood these parables. This will enable us to understand the meaning they hold for us today – 2000 years later! Just come and join us.
SPECIAL ONE-TIME BIBLE STUDY
SPECIAL ONE-TIME BIBLE STUDY featuring controversial Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong on his book “The Sins of Scripture”.

We will meet in the Conference Room on Thursday, September 6, 9:30-11 a.m. To view video go to: Special One-Time Bible Study
