COVENANT BIBLE STUDY - CREATING, LIVING, TRUSTING
When:
- Sundays, beginning September 24, 2:30-4:00pm
Where:
This is a 24-week, in-depth study of the entire story of the Bible based around the theme of “covenant.” Together, we’ll learn from our biblical ancestors how to create, live, and trust God's covenant with us, finding ways to live more fully into that Covenant. But more than a Bible study, it's also a time to learn how to do Bible study. No previous study background required.
For more info, contact Deacon Troy Sims (757-229-1771, x258 or tsims@williamsburgumc.org) who will be leading the study.
