Lenten Book Study

ONLINE: Tuesdays, February 24, March 3, 10, and 17 @ 7:00pm
AT DEERFIELD: Thursdays, February 26, March 5, 12, and 19 @ 1:00pm

Join us for either the online or in person study reading The Gospel of John: The Beginners Guide to the Way, The Truth, and the Life. John’s Gospel offers readers a new language—of being born anew, of living water, of wind and spirit, of the “I am”—that enhances how we understand the divine, how we experience the world, and how we participate in the mystery of faith. This book considers the Gospel of John in its entirety, moving through the Gospel and exploring the prologue, the wedding at Cana, the Samaritan woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery, the healing of the man at the pool and the man born blind, foot washing, Mary Magdalene and Doubting Thomas, and the Lamb of God.
