HEARING GOD BIBLE STUDY
Seven-week Bible Study, September – October, 2023
When: Most Tuesdays, from 7:30 – 8:45 p.m.

This seven-week Bible Study is based on the book Hearing God by Dallas Willard. This study will meet on Tuesday evenings (Wednesdays some weeks) from 7:30-8:45pm and will explore scripture passages to discern how God speaks to us. It is not necessary to read the book! Have to miss a session? No problem, each session stands on its own! We gather on Zoom at bit.ly/SMEC-Zoom-Gathering
