After a break for Christmas and New Year's celebrations, we will resume our Bible study on January 19 with a 6-week course "Angels in the Bible". This course will be offered using Zoom on Wednesday at 10 am, 1 pm and 7 pm.

The Bible is full of passages about angels who are sent to accomplish God’s will. Angels speak for God, direct the course of nations, and protect God’s people. They worship God and deliver God’s judgment. Angels in the Bible examines some of the Bible’s most fascinating passages about angels, exploring their ministry on God’s behalf and drawing insights for our own spiritual lives. Because angels are mediators of God’s presence and action, studying angels is studying God.
