Core52
Core52: A Fifteen-Minute Daily Guide to Build Your Bible IQ in a Year. Core52 is an essential resource for individuals and groups who want to build confidence in God’s Word. Think of Core52 as a fast-pass to biblical literacy, calling for 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 1 year. If you are keeping up with doing the Core 52 reading with the congregation, this week we are on Chapter 10 (Prophecy) and the key memorization scripture is: Psalm 2:7
Lenten Bible / Devotional Study
Our pastor will be providing a Lenten Bible/Devotional Study that will coincide with our Lenten sermon series on Thursdays @ 9:00 a.m. (Sunday School room) and 6:30 p.m. (Parsonage). The 6:30 study will also be provided via Zoom for those who cannot attend in person. If you are interested, please sign up at the information table and pick up your student guide
Aaron and Hur Ministry
