Men’s Bible Study – Lent 2016

study_4517c

My best friend died in a car wreck. My grandfather died of cancer. My sister has MS. My parents got divorced. If God is supposed to be good and loving, how can he allow such terrible things to happen?

We will meet in the church library. Newcomers are welcome and there’s no homework. We have three simple ground rules: 1) begin and end on time 2) mutual respect and 3) complete confidentiality.

Meetings run from 7:30 to 9:00 pm on Wednesdays beginning February 17 and ending March 23. Co-facilitators Rob Deitcher and Don Harting follow the tried-and-true small bible group study format contained in the Serendipity Bible.

Admission is free but please sign up in the hallway or via the form below so we know how many packets to make for the first meeting.

Brought to you by the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. Questions? Contact Rob or Don by email.

About Saint James

There are a number of Saint Jameses in the New Testament – Saint James the brother of Jesus (‘St. James the Just’), Saint James the son of Zebedee (‘St. James the Great’) and Saint James the son of Alphaeus (‘St. James the Less’). The shells that adorn the outside of the parish hall (a symbol of St. James the Great) suggest that our parish is named for this St. James.

Site Dedication

This site was made possible by, and is dedicated to, the Loving Memory of Judy Dress.
