Fall Bible Study Schedule
The schedule for the Fall Bible Study is now up. On September 11th, at 6:30 PM, we'll start going through the book of Exodus, beginning with the enslavement of the Israelites in Egypt. The way God interacts with His people to free them both politically and spiritually can help us learn how God wants to free us from everything that separates us from Him.
We'll meet twice a month in September, October, and November, and once in December. On the two nights that I'll be out of town, we'll show episodes from Bishop Robert Barron's video series, Catholicism.
