Midweek Bible Study

Wednesdays, 8:30–9:30 a.m. in person & via Zoom and Thursdays, 6:00-7:15 p.m. in person only

Join the clergy on Wednesday mornings or Thursday nights for the wisdom literature of the Hebrew scriptures, including an examination of Proverbs, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. Throughout the course, Kenneth Miller, our Director of Music, will provide guest lectures on Psalm settings and how various composers may deepen our understanding of these sacred texts. No advanced preparation is necessary.

We offer two sections of the same Bible Study class: one on Wednesday mornings, the other on Thursday nights.
