Bible Study (Online)
2025-10-08 11:00 - 12:15, 2025-10-15 11:00 - 12:15 | Online
Our weekly Bible study on Zoom usually focuses on the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday and is led by Mtr. Meredith. We practice a contemplative, prayerful style of Bible study that focuses on how God is speaking to us through our questions, responses, curiosities and doubts as we engage Scripture.
The study is followed by a brief, optional service of noonday prayer.
Join in any Wednesday at 11 am. No previous preparation is required. The Zoom link is distributed via our weekly email newsletter (or contact the parish office).

The course will meet in the Parish House (sometimes the Wilks Room, sometimes the Hall) every Wednesday from 6-8 pm, through October 22. You can attend the whole series or pop in on a given week. Light supper is provided. If you’re popping in, please RSVP to Mtr. Meredith and note any dietary restrictions. You can also get a copy of that week’s reading from her in advance.
Topics include:

The Bible—What is the Bible? Why do we read it? How do we know what it means?
Beliefs—What do Episcopalians believe? How do we talk about God? Why do we say the Nicene Creed every Sunday? Join us for this week’s Episcopal 101 as we explore these questions together. Light dinner provided—please RSVP to Mtr. Meredith.
Baptism & Eucharist—What is a sacrament? What are the promises we make about our lives as Christians? How do the sacraments change our lives?
History—Where does the Episcopal Church come from, and why does that matter today?
Prayer—What is prayer? How do we pray and how can we grow our lives of prayer together?

Remember this is open to everyone, from newcomers to longtime members. Those who complete the course will have the option to be Confirmed or Received when Bishop Matt visits St. James’ on Sunday, October 26th.
