Adult Bible Study Group

Studying the bible in a small group, of 6 -12 people, is a more intimate setting to develop a sense of community, build relationships, and to deepen our walk with God. Interested participants are asked to sign up at the Welcome Centre. For information call the Church Office at 705-325-5183 EXT 1.

• Rev. Shelly's 6 week Lenten Bible Study presents a closer look at the Passion Narrative as is found in the Gospel of John. The series concludes on March 30th.
