Lectionary study on Thursdays
Join Pastor Leigh Brown each Thursday from noon to 1 p.m. for a discussion of the scripture texts that will be the source of the message for the next Sunday's morning worship service. The scripture readings change weekly and are noted in the Sunday bulletins. Regular attendance is not required to participate. This is a great way to enhance your Sunday morning worship experience by gaining a deeper understanding of the biblical text and the message.
