John’s Letters Bible Study
Begins in September
When we strip away what is superficial, cultural or traditional, what is the essence of genuine Christianity? What qualities and beliefs must be present in a living and life-changing faith? John's letters focus on the three most important aspects of the Christian life. With power and simplicity, he helps us focus out attention on what really matters- both now and for eternity. This revised LifeGuide Bible Study features additional questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection, together with expanded leader's notes and an extra "Now or Later" section in each study.
This study will meet on Thursdays at 6 pm (beginning 9/15) in-person and via Zoom.
Please bring $10 to the parish office by Sunday, August 21 in order to receive your book.
