This is a 30 week study and will involve getting back into God's word. Once a week, the Disciple Bible Study assignments will be published under the "Weekly Sessions" tab. Watch for a new theme word, theme scripture, human condition, reading assignments, bible teaching section and mark of discipleship. A link to this page will be published in our weekly eHerald, as well.
It is not necessary to sign up for a small group to participate in the Churchwide study - while some of us like our alone time, we do encourage you to partner with another person to motivate each other along.
We are hoping that everyone will participate in this study. That is an audacious goal we know, but it is also a great opportunity for us to covenant together to be part of this wonderful study.
