Bible Study

 Thursdays

11:00

​

Bible Study will begin on Thursdays  at 11 AM.  Currently it will be offered as a hybrid study (zoom and in person together)  Pastor Derek will still have to figure out the tech piece to make it most accessible to all participants. He has not yet selected a text because he'd like to hear from you about where you'd like to begin. 

​

Once we know who is participating we will only email those participants.  You can request the link at any time through the church office.

 

Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns. We understand technology is not everyone's favorite, but  do not want anyone to be excluded who wishes to participate.  If you need help figuring out zoom, you are welcome to contact Pastor Derek.  Please share this message with anyone who you think would be interested.
