MAYBERRY BIBLE STUDY: Space is limited and filling up quickly. Sign up NOW!
The Andy Griffith Show is one of the most beloved television programs of all time- full of humor, heart, and simple wisdom. Join Pastor Lillejord and Pastor Jay as they dig into this “modern parable” and uncover how the gentle lessons of Mayberry still speak to us today.
Each week, we will watch an episode together and explore how its themes connect with Scripture and our everyday walk of faith. Through stories of Sheriff Andy, Barney, Opie, and the rest of the Mayberry community, we will discover meaningful examples of Service, Peace, Mercy, and Commitment - virtues that continue to shape vibrant Christian living.
Weekly Themes
Thursday, January 8 – “Serve”
Thursday, January 15 – “Peace”
Thursday, January 22 – “Mercy”
Thursday, January 29 – “Commitment”
Whether you grew up watching The Andy Griffith Show or are discovering it for the first time, this study offers a fun, accessible, and spiritually rich way to engage with Scripture and community.
Times Offered
Thursday mornings: 10:30 AM - Noon
Thursday evenings: 6:30 - 8:00 PM
Space is limited. Sign up by contacting Gina in the church office to reserve your spot. We look forward to journeying through Mayberry with you!
