St. Mark's Bible Reflections
Our Bible Reflection group typically meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, in the Common Room (w/the fireplace), at 6:30 - 8:00pm. The days can vary, so keep an eye here and in the bulletin for changes. Join us as we delve into God's word, to learn more about Him, about ourselves, and about each other. We will choose topics together, we will have some readings selected, and some questions for discussion. All are welcome to contribute and join in. Together we will explore and learn. Light refreshments are served.
