New ‘23 Bible Study - Matthew!

Join us for our Bible Study on the Gospel of Matthew!

We will offer two “seatings”— 11:00a in Magill Hall, and 6:30p online via Zoom. The class will run from January 11th through May 3rd, with a detailed schedule of readings to come soon (posted below). This class will be approachable whether you’ve participated in previous studies or not. Consider joining us to dive deep into this Gospel as we read through it not just in Bible study, but throughout Sunday mornings this year with the Revised Common Lectionary!

During Lent, class will be taught at 11:00a in person and via Zoom. For those who cannot join during the day, a recording will be made available upon request to Fr. Ben or Fr. Chris! Evening class will resume April 12th.

If you’d like to receive weekly e-mail updates, contact Fr. Ben to be added to the Bible Study email group in Realm.
