Wednesday Bible Study

Wednesdays at 12N in the Fellowship Hall

Join us for our Fall Bible Study, “Following St. Paul Following Jesus”. We will take a Biblical and historical look at the saint’s Missionary Journeys. It will include maps, photos, and archeological insights as we see where Paul went, read what he wrote, and hear the voice of Christ leading us also on our “missionary journeys.”
Join us in the Fellowship Hall
or via Zoom.
