Bring your questions and learn how and when Bethany’s vision will become reality!!!
Bible Study is Back!
We begin again on Oct 7th and 8th. This year we start with - Beginnings: A Study of Genesis. We are also offering two options to attend the study - Wednesday mornings a 9:10am and Thursday Evenings at 7:00pm.
Genesis is the foundational book in understanding all of what follows afterwards in the Bible. It touches the deep parts of our humanity: Creation (and how we are literally connected to it), Covenant (God's unfailing promise to sometimes failing humans), and Family (with all the complexities of human relationships included). No prior biblical knowledge is required - all are welcome!
