Wednesday @ 7:00pm depending on the weather, we will have either a labyrinth walk outdoors (in front of the church) OR a guided meditation (in the church). We will let Mother Nature decide for us this time. The guided meditation will be broadcast via Zoom at the same link as the Bible Survey (see below), but the Labyrinth will be only offered in person.
Wednesday @7:30pm - Bible Survey will be held both in person at the hall in the library as well as via Zoom. No previous Bible knowledge is necessary. Newcomers and seekers are welcome. We continue to explore the core teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount (i.e., Matthew chapters 5-7) using the excellent curriculum at the bibleproject.com.
