This is a weekly gathering centers on the scripture text that will be preached on for the upcoming Sunday. We will read the scripture several times and discuss the following questions in relation to the text: What is a word/phrase that stands out to you? Allow that word/phrase to develop into a memory from your life or a thought on the passage? What is Christ calling you to through the text? Led by Pastor Mac Schafer.
