All are welcome!


09/17/23          Friendly Bible Study with Heather at 9AM

·       Over the next few months, we will read the book of Jonah, exploring how this Old Testament classic might speak to us still today. Our practice is based on the Friendly Bible Study method, which involves reading a relatively short section of text, spending some time reflecting individually on the passages, and then sharing our reflections with each other.  Note that we are experimenting with meeting before Meeting

rather than after!  We will meet outside if the weather is nice and in the

Meeting office if it is unpleasant outside.
