Through informal discussion and sharing, we become more familiar with the scriptures and try to apply them to our daily living. We seek an understanding of the deeper meaning of God's word and how this pertains to the world around us.  The group also provides a source of Christian fellowship for men in the parish to encourage spiritual growth and support each other in our journey of faith. Each week one chapter of Scripture is read and then discussed, often reflecting the backgrounds and experiences of members.

Personal Testimony:

"I have been a member since the Men's Bible Study was established in 1983. Members of the group have always respected where each other is at in our journey of faith. The different perspectives of group members stemming from a wide variety of life experiences has brought a real richness in how we see God speaking to us in His word. Hearing how other men live out their faith has inspired me to be more serious about mine. The camaraderie, support, nurturing, affirmation, inspiration and respect I have gotten from this group is priceless."

A topic of meditation is provided, followed by 20 minutes of meditation and then discussion.  Meetings are the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month at 7:00 PM in the Library.  All men are welcome.

A group for women ages 18 and up who wish to grow in their faith by a study of the Scriptures and occasionally, other spiritual sources.   New "sisters" are very welcome for the weekly gathering.
