Bible Study
The class will be held in First Christian Church’s Zoom and Room 6 on Thursdays from 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. All are welcome!
Please let the church office or Pastor Jesse know if you plan on attending so you can receive the reading each week.
A TIME TO LAUGH
This will be a short five-session study since I’ll be on Sabbatical starting the end of June. Given the somberness tat many of our traditions have pressed us to bring to all matters religious, the notion of laughing with the Bible makes some people uncomfortable. Many people generally think of God as angry and ill-tempered, therefore humorless. In this study we will explore some passages in the Bible that were intended to be humorous. God knows we need a laugh every now and then!
SCHEDULE – All classes including “Field Trip” on March 12 will begin at 7:00 in person (Room 6) or on Zoom.
