In Person Studies
Sunday morning
Led By Pastor Matzke and Pastor Ryan
Every Sunday at 9:20am in the Fellowship Hall
This large group Bible study is called “Longer Look at the Lessons” because it offers the opportunity to study the three readings from that Sunday’s Divine service: the Gospel, the Epistle, and the Old Testament reading. Our pastors will explain the context of the readings and provide a deeper understanding of how the lessons can be applied to life today. Drop-ins are welcome.
