Sunday Scripture Study - We have a great group of inspiring people with a desire to learn more about Scripture and become closer to God. Bible study meets on Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the office basement, from September through May, and corresponds with the CCD calendar. The study involves following along in a work book, reading scripture, prayer, and sharing. Each year, a new study is selected by the group. Past studies have included the Acts of the Apostles, Genesis, Exodus, John, Revelations, Job, Isaiah, James, and A Quick Journey Through the Bible covering the historical books.
