Getting Personal with Scripture

Together our goal will be to get better acquainted with Scripture. Using Welcome to the Bible, we'll be talking about topics such as:

How do we know what the Bible says?
What does the Bible mean to Episcopalians? And
How do we read the Bible on our own?

What is the Adult Christian Formation (ACF) program at St. Patrick's like?

Adult Formation brochure can be found here.
