DISCIPLE: Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study
Introductory Sessions: Sundays, Sept. 20 & 27,
8:45–9:45 am, Lawnridge Hall
Course begins the week of Oct. 5. The weekly class will be held on Mondays and Thursdays, 7:00–9:00 pm, in Lawnridge.
As Christians, we have a history of life-long Bible study. The aim of DISCIPLE is transformation, not just information, and calls on individuals to submit themselves to be changed by God's Word.
The 34-week Disciple 1: Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study is divided between Old and New Testaments and takes participants from Genesis through Revelation, prompting them along the way to consider their human condition and become disciples. DISCIPLE has been highly recommended by members and friends of our congregation, as well as by church leaders, and affirmed by our Session. The accompanying Study Manual costs $34.
