| 3. Wednesday Bible Study Goes to Philippi!
Well, we're going in spirit at least.
On May 4th we will turn to the Book of Philippians. Rosa says it is her favorite.
We have enjoyed the N.T. Wright study guide for Mark so much that we will use his book on Philippians, to find out what is in it for us today. The study will last approximately 3 months BUT with the individual chapter format, it is easy to come when you can and skip when you can't. NO HOMEWORK required.
Wednesdays, 1:30 - 3 pm. Hope to see you there!
