The atmosphere is non-threatening and all questions are welcome.  There is NO CHARGE for what could be a life changing experience.

Wednesday morning, Bible Study will commence in September (probably either the 12th or the 19th).  We will decide at that time which book of the Bible we’ll be studying.
