Thursday Morning Bible Study IN THE EVENING!

As we continue our experiments during this truly uncharted territory, I thought I’d try an evening experience for our traditional Thursday Morning Bible Study. [Truth is that I also have another commitment this Thursday morning that actually survived all the cancellations of this current reality]. So, instead of cancelling outright, I thought I’d try out an evening experience. 

So join us on Thursday April 2 at 7:00PM for a Bible conversation on Matthew 21: 1 – 11… Matthew’s take on the Palm Sunday story. 

Here’s the ZOOM Meeting invitation. Look forward to sharing the conversation with you on Thursday evening.

Self Isolating with Wisdom – 31 Days with Proverbs

Today, I’m inviting you to join me on a 31 day journey of Self Isolation with Wisdom – the wisdom found in the Book of Proverbs. Starting today and over the next 31 days, I’d like to encourage you to read a chapter from Proverbs each day. For those of you who would like more of a challenge, I’ve also included a reading plan that would take you through the Book of Psalms AND Proverbs in 31 days. Occasionally in our regular e-mails, you will see reminders and quotes from the daily readings to keep you on track.

I’ve included this great and simple overview of the Book of Proverbs from the British and Foreign Bible Society who a few years back produced these resources for their Bible Book Club. I hope it helps give you context for this rich book of wisdom literature attributed to King Solomon. Here’s the link:

And if you’d like to try something a little more challenging – here’s the reading plan for reading both The Book of Psalms AND Proverbs in 31 Days.

I look forward to walking in the path of wisdom with you these 31 days.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.” ~ Proverbs 1.7

You will need to click on this link around 10AM or slightly before. And then we will dig into the Scripture for the day.

We will be talking about Matthew 6:19 – 7:12.

Here’s a link to the text: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A19+-+7%3A12&version=NRSV
And just to say, this was the text that I was scheduled to speak on this coming week! The Spirit moves in mysterious ways.
Stay connected (at a distance), calm and healthy.


Grace and peace, John.

Join our Facebook Bible Study this Fall

Starting on Wednesday September 12, Rev. John will  be starting a Facebook Bible Study group.  A Bible passage with questions will be posted for members of the group to consider individually, with the opportunity to comment to the group as a whole.  It is hoped that this might lead to some great discussions online.  This Fall, the study will focus on Acts, in alignment with a sermon series on The Acts of the Apostles.
Here’s the link to follow to the group:
