Adult Discussion Group


“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.” Something rejected has become marvelous... How wonderful is that? Can you think of a time when you rejected something, or someone, only to find later that they have become marvelous? Come join our discussion about the gospel lesson this Sunday in the Asbury Room. We meet after worship at 11:15am, and we welcome you!

Monday Noontime Bible Study is studying Paul's letter to the Romans and meets Mondays at noon (hence the name!) for about 75 minutes on Zoom. Whether you’re brand new to the Bible or know it inside and out, you’re welcome! We spend a little time checking in with each other and then explore and discuss a biblical text. We then close by sharing joys and concerns and praying together. For further information, or to receive the Zoom link contact Pastor Sharon Yarger at scyarger@optonline.net.
