Do you struggle reading and understanding the Bible?

Reading the Bible can be challenging and confusing.  If you’d like to gather with some others to learn about how we read, interpret and apply the Bible to our lives, let’s find a time.  Participants in the How Lutherans Interpret the Bible sessions found it very helpful and encouraged us to offer it again.  Watch for details about upcoming times… and contact a pastor if you have a time that would work for you and some others.

 
Thursday Women's Prayer and Study Group
Would you like an opportunity to make some new friends? Are you looking for a group of women with whom you can talk and share concerns? Then come and join our Thursday Women’s Prayer and Study group which meets at noon.

Bring a sack lunch if you would like. We’ll put on the coffee pot, provide some scripture to begin our discussion and make sure it’s a safe place for people to share. We’ll be meeting in the Conference Room. If you have questions, please contact Pastor Mary Anne at 225-9740.
