Does the Bible really say THAT?

Wednesdays April 30, May 7, 14, 21, and 28 from 7:30-9:00 p.m.

Please join us for this 5-week series, taught by the Rev. Melissa McCarthy, in which we will explore the Bible, introduce you to major Biblical themes and characters, learn historical information about how the Bible came to be, as well as gain helpful techniques for reading the Bible on your own.  Designed for anyone who is interested in learning and especially for those who know absolutely nothing about the Bible, this series will be relaxed, informative, and non-threatening!  Please contact the church office for more information.
