FLC BIBLE BOOK STUDY
Second Thursday of each month, starting September 12
What: A conversational book study, taking a wide look at What is the Bible? by Rob Bell. Books are available for pickup at church (or at the first meeting).
Who: You are invited! FLC Members are facilitating conversation, and we'll learn together. The idea started by folk who wanted to study the Bible, as an addition/alternative to monthly Brewed Theology.
How: Monthly meetings, on the second Thursday, Sept-Dec, with a study guide and conversation. And Food! (And if you miss a meeting, that's ok!)
Why: Because learning about the Bible leads us to learning what's in the Bible (and what's not), how to read it (and now not), and becoming disciples of Jesus.
If you're interested in attending, please email Ben at Ben@farmingtonlutheran.com, or Peter Elliott at pelliott545@gmail.com! No reading or prep work needed for this week.
