Lenten Study Series: Wisdom

The Biblical writers were very interested in the nature of wisdom and the ways in which people lived it. This study series for Lent will survey the different ways Biblical authors wrote about wisdom and the ways in which they expected it to influence daily life.

This series takes place on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 pm in the Pastor’s Study.

It follows the regular weekly Bible study which considers the readings for the upcoming Sunday. Those sessions begin at 5:00 pm.

Both sessions may be attended in person or joined via Zoom. See the Weekly Chime for connection information.
