Current Bible Studies
Beatitudes Study: The 10 week study was completed on April 8th. The study provided a contemplative, reflective journey through the Beatitudes and the blue print they can provide for living a life though the example of Christ. Many of us found new, more thoughtful and loving approaches to responding to and caring for one another and reminded us of what it is in life that provides real joy and value. We were also grateful for the small group experience that allowed us to get to know each other better.
