NBC Bible Study

NBC stands for "not a book club." We’re a women’s Bible study, and we’ve been meeting for over 6 years now, discussing God’s Word and growing together in our faith. But one thing is missing: You. Will you consider joining us? The "regulars" in NBC are loving, encouraging women who will make you feel welcome and comfortable.

We open our fall season with Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World--finding intimacy with God in the busyness of life by Joanna Weaver.

Please join us each Wednesday from 3:15-5:15 p.m. in the Conference Room. For more information, please contact Jean Schwalbert.

NBC is on a holiday break and will resume January 12th.
