KERYGMA BIBLE STUDY JANUARY 14-APRIL 17, 2018
Discovering the Bible is a comprehensive introduction to the Bible as a whole. The course seeks to underscore the interest in seeing the interconnectedness of the many part of the Bible; more than learning just the content about each book of the Bible.

We will begin with the Old Testament this spring—15 sessions. Each session is 90 minutes long. There is nothing to bring except for your Bible, your workbook and yourself.  The workbook is $30. Scholarships are available.  We must have at least 10 people in the class.

The course will meet on Tuesday morning at 11 am (Jan. 14-April 17, 2018). In order that we get enough materials, we ask that you sign up for the class.
