Lectionary Scripture Discussion

Sundays: 9 a.m. – 9:45 a.m., Fireside Room

A lectionary is a collection of readings or selections from the Scriptures, arranged and intended for proclamation during the worship of the people of God. The lectionary provides a guide to those who wish to read, study, and pray the Bible in tune with the church’s prayer and preaching.
Center your mind by joining the conversation! The coffee is hot and the discussion is engaging. Come and go as you need – and prepare for worship with deeper insight and understanding.

NEW: Bible Study on John’s Gospel

Sundays, Beginning September 29, 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the First UMC Library

A new Bible Study is open to all. The Gospel of John contains some of the most beloved passages in our Bible but also some of the most confounding and opaque. It was written for a particular culture at a particular time in Christian history different from our own. Rev. Larry Young with Nathan Oney will be leading a study of this distinctive gospel and what it has to offer our own faith. No advance signup needed—just come, and bring a Bible!
