Weekly Bible Study with Mary Nickel
This fall, we'll be reading through Genesis, the first book of the Bible! It's got all the classic hits —creation and sin, arks and floods and towers, and some pretty famous folks. We'll be revisiting those stories you may have learned in Sunday School and figuring out what God might be trying to say to us through them today. Join the list to receive a booklet in advance of the first day of the study. Everyone is welcome!
(That means you!)

Dates: 9/9-11/18, 12:00-1:15 pm. Bring your lunch if you’d like!

We’ve been told to Love God with our hearts, souls, and minds. At DOWNTOWN CHURCH we work hard to stretch our oftentimes stubborn minds in our exploration of God and one another.

We’ve found that books, both biblical and not, are great places to start. We read books, drink coffee, talk, and listen. Guided by the wisdom of others we watch and see the ways the Holy Spirit shows up and walks alongside us in our own rocky paths of transformation.
