Tuesday night Bible Study will be focusing on Paul’s second letter to the Church at Corinth for nine weeks beginning September 25. It’s not easy to be a believer in a non-believing world. It’s not easy to be the church in a church-doubting age. Paul knew it centuries ago. He offers a way ahead that still rings true today. COME AND HEAR. COME AND SEE. You may share this opening topic only, choose from those that follow or come for the entire series! Whichever, we’ll be glad to have you.

The entire series runs from late September through mid-May. Future studies include The Prophet Hosea (Advent), Coming to the Cradle, Growing with Jesus (Gospels You Know, Gospels You Don’t!), Paul Looks at the Cross (Lent), Forward in Faith (Galatians, Thessalonians, Colossians).

Begins: September 25 at 7:30 in room 106.
Series runs from late September through mid-May.
