Join Dido for a Study of the Gospel of John
Each Wednesday at 11 am on Zoom (directions for Zoom are below) beginning June 30
John’s account gives us a unique glimpse from one of Jesus’ closest disciples into the significance of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. John reveals how Jesus came to provide “living water” to quench our deep spiritual thirst for the things of God. He shows how Jesus is the “bread of life” who satisfies our deep spiritual hunger. And he reveals how Jesus is the only way we can obtain that living water and bread of life, for “no one comes to the Father” except through Him.
A book is not required for this study, but it might help you. We will be using Dr. David Jeremiah's study called "John: The Divinity of Christ" which you can order from the church or on Amazon in Kindle or book form.

In-Person worship will continue to begin at 10:30 am and online worship will begin at 10:45 am (With the exception of Mother's Day Sunday when both will begin at 10:30 am)! Dido is hoping to make online worship more inviting to first-time guests through making online worship a little shorter and filled with more active content.
