*Lectionary Bible Study on Mondays
We will read the four selected texts for the follwoing Sunday, ask questions, read commentaries, make connections, explore themes, etc. These conversations will help inform our worship planning and Laura’s sermon preparation as well, so we will also discuss ideas for worship that any of these texts may inspire.
Anyone who wants to join is welcome. We will gather around a table each Monday from 12:30-1:30 pm. When warm enough we meet on the Chattanooga Riverwalk, at the Robinson Bridge entrance off Amnicola Highway. Other Mondays that are too cool to meet outside, we will meet at NPC. Please bring your own lunch. Come ready to dive in to these sacred stories and see where the Spirit leads us! Call the church office at 894-3773 if you are not sure where to meet due to weather conditions.
