Bible Study with the Rector

 

Grace for the Road:

Midweek Bible Studies for Ordinary Life

 

 

Paul's letter to the Romans has, arguably, had more influence on the Christian Church over the last 500 years than any single book of the Bible.  In it he articulates his vision of the sovereignty of God and the necessity of grace, and does so in a way that is personally revealing and, at times, profoundly moving.  These studies are times of vibrant conversation and questioning, as we all seek a closer walk with Christ.  And the coffee is good, too!  We guarantee you will walk out re-charged for the rest of your week.   

 

 Men’s Bible Study, Wednesdays, 7:00 am

Women’s Bible Study, Thursdays, 9:15 am

 

Both Bible Studies meet at the Rectory, 381 Hammond Street

Baptisms are currently scheduled to take place on the following dates:

 

Sunday, May 31st at 10:30 am
