This is a traditional Bible Study. The class prayerfully takes turns reading aloud God’s Word section by section, chapter by chapter, book by book, allowing scripture to interpret scripture and keeping in mind the geographical and political contexts of the peoples to whom the Word of God was initially revealed. 
Dr. Jurchen will continue this engaging study in-person and over the interwebs. He will be using Blackboard Collaborate, but never fear, it’s easy to use! Follow this link to join the study at 10 a.m. on Sunday: https://us.bbcollab.com/guest/96eb77a32e1b4b02bc59bbcded0bbca1

Stephen Ministers contact their care receivers weekly to listen, care, encourage, pray, and provide emotional and spiritual support for the person. Caring relationships last for as long as the person’s need persists. Please pray for our new Stephen Ministers—ask God to bless their ministry and work through them to bring hope and healing to those whom they serve. Pray also for the ongoing ministry of our current Stephen Ministers. Our congregation is one of more than 13,000 worldwide, representing 160 Christian denominations, that use the Stephen Series system of lay caring ministry developed by Stephen Ministries in St. Louis.
