Couples Bible Study
Sunday, June 4th | noon-1pm
We are so excited to offer a NEW Bible study that couples can attend together, that also has childcare for those with younger kids. This was requested by several members through our small group survey. We are going to meet a couple times this summer, then put together a consistent meeting time in the fall.
Our first meeting will be Sunday, June 4th, from noon-1pm. Feel free to bring a lunch or grab a meal from our community lunch (beginning at 11:30am) and drop off kids at the nursery (with food if they don't have time to eat before). Depending on weather, we will be meeting at the shelter house or in the Fireside Lounge.
Please use the signup genius link below if you're planning on coming. If you can't attend but would like to stay on our group communications of upcoming event, please email Tony Katko (tkakto@peacegahanna.org).
We hope this opportunity will build some relationships, find support with people going through similar life journeys, and grow in our faith as we study together. *If you need childcare, please let us know the number and ages of kids so that we can plan accordingly.
