Wednesday Bible Study

is on hiatus until January 7th

Wednesday Bible Study will resume on January 7, the day after the feast day of Epiphany, the last day of Christmastide and the first day of the Epiphany season. We will have a modest celebration to celebrate the season. The topic of study will be the Plan of God as found in scripture (which is really all about the Plan of God) , what the place of humankind is in the Plan, and what it says to the 21st century.

If you are interested, and unavailable on Wednesday morning, contact Kathie Sandmaier for other options.
