Journey through the Bible
Room 401, Sept. 7 – Dec. 7
Join Jan and Doug Manchee as they explore Ezekiel and other old testament prophets and study how God’s word from long ago is still alive and very applicable in today’s world. Our study will examine questions such as: What did the Bible say? What did it mean in a historical text? And what does the Scripture mean in our lives today? We look forward to seeing you as we Journey through the Bible together.

Bible Study with Ray Henderson Room 402, Year round
Ray’s class focuses on studying various books of the Bible and is currently studying the Gospel of John. The class is a mixture of ages and is open to everyone interested in exploring scripture in the context of our own lives here and now. We enjoy Christian fellowship as we together seek understanding of God’s word in an informal and open environment. There is no requirement for previous Bible study, only an active and open mind.

Gary and Ann Long welcome adults of all ages, single or married, to this time to focus on relationships. Different aspects of relating to others will be presented through video or written material and discussed by the group each week.
