Quaker Bible study on the first and third First Days of the month from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM. This gives both 15 minutes more opportunity for connecting with scripture together, and extra time to prepare for our individual mMeetings for wWorship thereafter! Friends also are rotating the choosing of scripture for study depending on each person’s leading. So, for instance, on 6/15, the group will be meeting from 7:30 to 8:30 AM, and focusing on Romans 12:3-8. Friends should contact Reb if she can be of further service at rebmackenzie1@gmail.com or call 603-504-2851.
