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).
