Hourglass Bible Study
Curious about the Bible but unable to commit to study on your own? If so, the Hourglass Bible study may be just right for you. No reading is required before the class; instead, we read the scripture together one week and share our reflections on that passage the next week. It’s an opportunity to work scripture into your everyday life and to benefit from the varied and honest reactions of others in the class.
Current Topic
Gospel Parallels
Through July and August, the Hourglass Bible Study is going three-dimensional! We will spend each Sunday afternoon comparing selected events in Jesus’s life by reading the three versions of those events in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Come join us for our virtual meeting from 4:30 to 5:30 on Sunday afternoons, July 13 through August 31. Newcomers are welcome at any time!
Reading Schedule
To prepare for the class, you may read the scripture from the previous Sunday. We will read the new scripture together on the date listed.
