St. Augustine Anglican Church is announcing a new Bible Study series to be held every Wednesday in August. The Bible Study series will focus on the contents of Holy Scripture and its meaning to us in our lives and is open to all. The events will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at 656 Route 1 in Scarborough, the West Scarborough United Methodist Church where St. Augustine's shares worship space. Father Jeff Monroe, Vicar of the parish, will lead the open discussion.
The Bible is a book of history, poetry, literature and law and understanding how to read the Book is based on an understanding of the various styles of writing as well as prayerful reflection. St. Augustine's Bible Study will explore the text through reading, reflection and discussion and no previous experience or knowledge of the Bible necessary.
"We welcome all to explore the Bible with us. This will be a learning experience for everyone and all are welcome" said Father Jeff Monroe. "Holy Scripture is an adventure like no other." The study will be preceded by a service of Healing on August 3rd and prayer each Wednesday thereafter.
Beginning this week the series, entitled “Prayer, Promises, Hope and Faith”, will begin study of the Gospel of John. The evening is open to all. Father Jeff Monroe, Vicar of the parish, will lead the open discussion which will be followed by a Service of Evening Prayer. For more information please contact Father Jeff at 615-7989.
