BEMA is getting ready to begin Season 2!: Season 1 took us on a remarkable journey through the first five books of the Bible. In Season 2, we’ll continue through the rest of the Old Testament, exploring the Hebrew Scriptures together through meaningful conversation and deeper study. We’re looking forward to another season of learning, discussion, and discovery!
Our first meeting will be Sunday, September 27 at 11:30 AM. We hope you’ll join us!
The Mustard Seed: St. Francis has agreed to provide three additional meals for the Mustard Seed this year. The dates are October 2, October 23, and December 23. We are looking for bakers and servers for all three meals. Please email Bethanncarrigan@gmail.com if you are able to help out.
