Men’s Bible Study Hosts The Saint John’s Bible: John’s Prologue

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it. John 1:1-5

All are invited to join us for an early morning Bible Study in the Choir Room. Our special guest, Tim Ternes, will guide us through the Book of John’s prologue with imagery and scripture. St. John’s Men’s Bible Study are the hosts for this event complete with coffee, breakfast, and discussion. All St. John’s parishioners, men, women, and children, are welcome!
