No More Zoom Bible Study on Sunday mornings until Sunday School starts again this fall. However, the class is continuing to meet at 8:30am on Sunday to watch a video series which can't be recorded because of copyright issues. The six videos, "The Rock, The Road, and the Rabbi", are available until the end of August so come and watch them with us or if you can't join us in person and would like to watch them on your own, contact Dianne Kludt and she will send you the link. The video this weekend is on Nazareth where we will learn that Jesus was not really a carpenter (the way we interpret carpenter). Join us if you can! August 1 we will view Capernaum - Ministry Headquarters!
