This fall the bible study will be a hybrid with each session having two themes: A Quick
Overview of the Entire Bible using Ascension Press’ Bible Timeline Chart and Ascension’s
"Follow Me" study on John.
We hope to attract first-time Bible students with the Timeline Chart and emphasize our Eucharistic Revival with the John Study (nothing quite says EUCHARIST like JOHN Chapter 6).
The study group will meet Wednesdays from 5:30-7:30pm in Grace Hall, and will run from September 18th thru November 20th (no class on Nov. 4th ).
Deadline to register is September 4th . Cost of all materials is $35. Contact Diane Schlecte at [email protected] to register.
