THURSDAY BIBLE STUDY UPDATE: This week, Pastor Richard Bliese kicked off a brand-new Bible Study series centered on Rob Bell’s What is the Bible. The group began their journey through the book by exploring Part 1, covering chapters 1–3. Click here to see class notes.
Please note: There will be no Bible Study on Thursday, June 12, as Pastor Bliese will be attending the Florida-Bahamas Synod Assembly (June 12–14). The class will resume on Thursday, June 19.
If you missed this week’s session, this break is a great opportunity to catch up! You can watch the recording of the June 5 class, pick up a copy of the book, and read through chapter 6 to prepare for the next discussion.
What is the Bible is a thought-provoking exploration of Scripture, offering new perspectives on how the Bible continues to speak into our lives today.
Books are available in the church office for $10, or may be purchased on Amazon.
Let’s continue growing in faith and understanding—we look forward to seeing you on June 19!
