BIBLE STUDY 101  9:00 to 10:00 am, Sunday mornings.
Begins Sunday, September 19, 2010.

Leader: Betsey Peale, Assistant: Jack Ragle
The purpose of this Bible study is to bring people together who are seeking to know God through the Scriptures. In addition to the Bible, we will be using the book “What the Bible is All About” written by Henrietta Mears. No matter where one is on their faith journey, or what one perceives they know (or don’t know) about the Bible, the common denominator is that we are seeking to know the truths of God’s Word to each one of us, which we can apply to living in today’s world. To quote Billy Graham, “The Bible is old, yet is ever new”. Come, let our journey begin . . . .
Childcare will be provided.  Please contact Pastor Virg at 603-448-5478 if needed.
