BEGINNING ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!
ALL-CHURCH STUDY
Join us as we IMMERSE
ourselves in the Bible
  • DAILY VIDEO & AUDIO recording options available Tyndale.com/sites/immersebible/messiah-resources
  • FAMILY, YOUTH & CHILDREN’S GUIDES are an excellent way for your whole family to participate. Available for pick-up at the Mayflower Office.
  • COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE designed for groups—more like a book club, less like a Bible study.
  • WEEKLY ZOOM DISCUSSIONS engage openly in group Zooms. The main Zoom group will be hosted on WEDNESDAYS at NOON. Sign-up to get on the list: MayflowerChurch.org/news/immerse. Other group Zooms will be hosted by Mayflower members, groups, and leaders. Stay tuned for more opportunities to participate.
LENT begins Wednesday, February 17
Books are available now at church - call the office with any questions.

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good.
At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
