SUMMARY:God's Story\, Our Stories Bible Study- Online
DESCRIPTION:The Lectionary Bible Study Group meets online each Thursday evening. We are a band of curious explorers\, reflecting upon the lectionary passages for the coming Sunday. We ask many questions. We have “ah ha” moments in our discussions. We attempt to unearth how these ancient stories inform our current day stories. We deeply seek to live out our best understanding of the heart of these stories week by week in the midst of our common humanity. Several group members rotate the facilitation. \nCome and join us! You may be placed on the group distribution list by contacting Bill Brown at bbrown@wwbrown-inc.com. \nRealm Registration Event.
