Bible Study
How does the Holy Spirit communicate to/through you? Starting April 27 and for the following 5 Sundays we'll read, mark, inwardly digest, and share the readings for that day's liturgy through personal and group insights. We'll meet in St. James' Chapel at 10 for the hour between services. Depending on responses, this may become a regular feature of our Sundays at St. John and St. Saviour. Jon Aceto will facilitate. Bring along your favorite Bible translation (we'll supply propers for those who need them) to enliven discussions. Questions? Email education@saintsaviour.org About our faciliator: Jon facilitated Bible Study for 8 years at Christchurch, Whitefish Bay, WI. His academic and personal spiritual background provided just enough supports to make participants more comfortable in this sharing environment.
