Weekly dinner and Bible study

Weekly dinner and Bible study

Weekly Dinner and Bible Study on Mondays

Join us each Monday evening for dinner at 6 followed at 7 by a Bible study on the book of James.

Why study James?

“The gospel of Jesus—which James understands deeply and affirms completely—results in a new life of obedience when a person believes. That’s James’s message, and when we understand it, his book will no longer be confusing to us, but rather a stirring exhortation to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which we have been called!” https://www.crossway.org/articles/why-study-the-book-of-james/


In keeping with current Covid protocols we will be dining outside on the verandah which has naturally breezy ventilation (weather permitting). The Bible study will be indoors and masks will be required.
