Wednesday Bible Study

Every Wednesday at 12:00pm via Zoom


All are invited to join the mid-week bible study where we look at the readings for the coming Sunday’s worship, following the style of Lectio Divina. Together, we wonder, wish and notice how these ancient words still speak to us.  Some days we even look for what might be “shimmering” for us!


Some of the current bible study participants say:

  • Our discussions help me connect ancient writings with my own lived experience.
  • I am always grateful for what I learn from everyone’s various experiences and feedback.
  • I like that everyone is welcome to this Bible Study.
  • This group is so meaningful to me.
  • Getting to know folks better through our “check-in” time.
  • It’s a mid-week refocusing on God’s word and living God’s love in the world.
