Women’s Bible Study Wednesday mornings 9:15-10:45am, in the Fellowship Hall, September 17 -April 9
Ladies, join us as we learn about following Jesus from those who new him best: his siblings and best friends. As we read 1 & 2 Peter, James, Jude, 1,2,3 John & parts of Acts, we’ll ask, how were these men transformed by knowing Jesus? We’ll also dive into the very first years of the church, watching Christianity change lives and cities. In the process, we’ll also ask, how does Jesus transform our own lives? Come journey with us this new season and invite a friend! Reach out to Cynthia with any questions.

Community Bible Study (CBS)
Thursdays 10-12, in-person or online, evening online also available.
Come see what happens in people’s lives when they discover God through the study of His Word, the Bible. Our classes meet weekly during the school year. Each class participant receives a course book with a commentary and home study questions. Each week, you’ll participate in small-group discussions and large-group teaching. From time to time, fellowship meals will provide special times of sharing and relationship-building within the class.
We are studying “From the Red Sea to the Jordan River” looking at the Israelite’s journey in the wilderness. We are back in person this fall with class time returning to 10am-noon. We will also continue to offer morning and evening online core groups for those that prefer the online format. Register at https://lajolla.cbsclass.org/ or contact Jennifer at cbsJenniferS@gmail.com for more information.
