Holy Spirit Bible Study
The Spirit is manifested in diverse ways
in the holy scriptures – and in today’s
world. This study will consider the
witness of many different sections of the
Old and New Testaments about the
Spirit, who still comes into the fractures
of our personal, social and political lives
to awaken, transform and reconcile. All
are invited to attend this study led by
Pastor Anita on Wednesday evenings at
7:00 PM. You are welcome to be a part of
this study any time, and to invite others
to join in, too. Email Pastor Anita if you
would like summaries of past sessions.
