NEW COOPERATIVE PARISH BIBLE STUDY

FROM ADVENT TO ASCENSION

Rev. Jim Anderson leads an online

Bible Study Mondays at 1:30 pm. that

will continue until Easter, April 4, 2021. The study uses a new book:

FROM ADVENT TO ASCENSION: A

JOURNEY WITH JESUS. Members and friends of all three of our Cooperative Parish are invited to participate. The plan is to meet one hour per week at a time convenient to participants on Zoom.com as long as the Covid-19 restrictions are required. The book features daily Scripture readings from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John that are woven into a chronological account of Jesus' life and ministry. It also includes articles, hymns, and some 500 illustrations of Jesus' life on the stamps of the world that shed light on the background and meaning of the readings.

Books are available at a special price of $20 through the author. Those interested should make contact with Rev. Anderson at 985-8823 or revjima@yahoo.com if they have questions or send $20 through the church office.
