BIBLE STUDY RESUMES ON
OCTOBER 16!
SCUCC Bible Study resumes on Thursday, October 16 at 10:30am on Zoom. In October, we will meet on the following dates:
Thursday, October 16
Thursday, October 23
Thursday, October 30
Each week, we explore the Scripture passage(s) being used in Worship that coming Sunday. The sessions are largely “guided discussion” in approach, focusing on your questions and insights from reading the text ahead of time, with Mark facilitating and adding relevant context and detail as needed or wanted.
This approach allows for participants to engage with the Bible creatively, and with an eye toward how the texts speak to us in our time and lives. In addition, they are great preparation for getting more out of the Sunday Messages!
SPIRITUAL EXPLORATION RETURNS ON OCTOBER 14!
The topic and schedule for our first Fall unit will be announced this coming week.
