Psalm Study – ALL ARE INVITED!

We are embarking on a new, exciting way to study the Psalms! Each Monday that we meet, we will be studying the Psalm designated for the upcoming Sunday service. For example, when we meet Monday, January 29 at 10 a.m. in Wye Parish library, for the study of Psalm 147, which is the psalm for Sunday, February 4th. By studying in this way, we will read the responses with increased understanding and love of Scripture. Doesn’t that sound like a wonderful way to look forward to the service? Come join us for this new “study ahead” adventure!
