All middle school youth in 6-8th grade are invited to participate in the Diocesan Middle School Bible Study! Join us for an 8-part study as we take a closer look at Scripture, what it means, and why it is important for our lives. If you are interested in learning more about the Bible and how it all fits together, then this is the perfect opportunity for you!
How does the Bible Study work?
Our study will be broken up into 8 sessions that will be roughly 45 minutes each. These sessions will take place on the third Sunday of the month at 6pm beginning on October 18th. Over the course of the 8 sessions, we will discuss how to read and approach the Bible, the basic story from beginning to end, how to pray with Scripture through "lectio divina", and how the Bible connects to our lives. Below is a list of dates and session topics.
