Scripture Study Group Meeting – Wednesday January 4th at 7pm

groups at 7pm on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 in the Social Hall.  We will begin at 7pm with refreshments and socializing, and the meeting will run from 7:30 to 8:45pm.  At this meeting we will distribute the books ($10); discuss location, frequency, and time of meetings; begin forming groups; and gather any ideas or input you may have regarding the sessions. As we have said, our goal is to have enough groups so that everyone can find a meeting time and day and a frequency that fits their schedule, whether weekends, weekday evenings, weekday mornings, etc.  Please mark your calendar now! If you cannot attend the meeting and definitely want to participate, contact Marcia Grondin at marciaryan918@gmail. com.
