Lenten Bible Study with the Revs Bush and Schoenewolf | Feb 29 to April 4, Wednesday evenings from 6-7pm

Lenten Bible Study with the Revs. Bush and Schoenewolf

Lent is a season of waiting and preparation, as we journey to the cross of Christ and hope in the renewal of the Resurrection. Lent presents an opportunity for us to deepen our awareness of and commitment to the God who loves us and who has, in Christ, redeemed us. Rev. Randy Bush and Rev. Heather Schoenewolf will lead an evening Bible Study during the six weeks of Lent so that we as a congregation might travel along this journey together. The Bible Study will focus on passages of healing and wholeness that are a part of the Lenten Devotional guide offered to you by the Christian Education Ministry Team.

Join us Wednesday evenings from 6 - 7pm in the Second Floor Parlor for a time of study, discussion and reflection together. This special Lenten program will run from Wednesday, February 29 through Wednesday, April 4.

Our regular Bible 116 at noon on Mondays will resume April 16.
