Lectionary Group

Feasting on the word with soup for the soul

Each Tuesday, at 12:30, you are invited, over a bowl of soup, to bring your questions and your experience as we share together and explore our upcoming Sunday readings.

This informal gathering will follow the lectionary passages on which Sunday morning worship services are based. Coma and shre in this fellowship as we grow and learn together, expanding our understanding of Scripture.
