LENTEN ZOOM 'N' STUDY
Zoom links will be sent out prior
to each session OR contact us using the red button in the header
Each Lenten season for a number of years, we have participated with other Galena churches in a weekly program of Soup 'n' Study. This year is no different--except attendees will need to bring their own soup because the sessions will be held on Zoom.
This year, we will pick up with study plans from last year that were disrupted by the COVID lockdown. The book and video series will be The Walk by Adam Hamilton who says:
I wrote this book to be a simple guide for the Christian life written for ordinary people whose faith is sometimes messy. It is written for those who wish to follow Jesus, to experience more of God in their lives, and to grow to become the people God wants them to be.
Adam Hamilton is senior pastor of The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas, one of the fastest growing, most highly visible churches in the country.
Some of you likely have the book already since you signed up last year. For others, it is readily available online both as a hardcover or e-book.
