UPCOMING ADULT STUDY OPPORTUNITIES:

This fall join us as we explore the Biblical Prophets. At pivotal points in Israel’s history, God called these individuals to speak His message to the people. At times these words brought consolation to those who were suffering. In other moments, these same prophets challenged the Israelites to examine their lives, turn away from sin and return to God. We will also reflect on the many ways these prophetical messages are still relevant to our lives today.


This study will be presented in person and through zoom on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. and on Friday mornings at 10:30 a.m., from September 10th - November 13th. Please feel free to reach out to Richard Mallory at rmallory@stmarysrichmond.org, or Anne-Marie Condlin at amcondlin@stmarysrichmond.org with any questions.
