Daniel and Amelia's Zoom Bible Study
Wednesdays at 7 PM
Zoom meeting: https://zoom.us/j/91568577840

Our chaplains are offering a fun, informative and laid-back bible study on Zoom each Wednesday night. The regular attendees are warm and welcoming and it was a very pleasant social and reflective experience. A few verses in Ecclesiastes were shared in Hebrew and English and accompanied by musical and artistic connections.
It was like sitting around with friends sharing thoughts and experiences! Give it a try!

Highly recommended for reaching out and connecting with others
in the comfort of your own home!
One can or box of food
makes a BIG difference
in someone's life!
Get in the habit of bringing it to service each week!

Please support the Food Pantry!
A donation basket is provided to replenish supplies.

A convenient and cozy little area off the sanctuary has been turned into a coffee/beverage bar.


Come enjoy
the comfort
and comraderie!
