Women's Mid Morning Bible Study
|
|
The Women's Mid Morning Bible Study begins a study of the Apostle Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians early in the new year. In the opinion of the Reverend Tom Wright whose book Paul for Everyone, 1 Corinthians they will be using, this letter reveals Paul's pastoral sensitivity and deep insight which come together to make First Corinthians not only one of Paul's crowning achievements, but full of good things for us to ponder today.
The group invites all interested women to join them on Tuesday, January 7, at 10:00 a.m. in the Lowry Room. The first lesson will cover 1 Corinthians 1:1 - 3:4 and will be led by Laura Silva, beginning at 10:15 and concluding at 11:15. The group will meet thereafter on alternate Tuesdays through May 5. For more information, please contact Pat Wilson at patwilson68@tampabay.rr.com or 245.9562, or Joan McKay at mckayjhm@aol.com.

Sunday's Scripture Snippet
He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.
John 1

Hospital Visitation
We want to provide support during your time of need. However, because health regulations prohibit the clergy from being informed when our parishioners are in the hospital, we will not know if you or someone you love is there unless you tell us. We want to provide support in any time of need or crisis. Please call the parish offices at 259.1570 or
click here to email us to let us know when you need us.
If you have a pastoral emergency when the parish offices are closed, please call 906.5199.
