NEW BIBLE STUDY

Our small group Bible Study is back!  We are meeting on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. in  the newly renovated basement of the Daily Grind, also known as the “UnderGrind.”   It’s a large space with plenty of room for
social distancing so everyone can feel   comfortable.  Our focus will be what the Bible says about angels and demons and the spirit world, and the various reasons why bad things can happen to good people.  The group will be facilitated by Greg Deily and is open to anyone who would like to attend.
