New Bible study, MYF to begin at St. John’s
A new Bible study and the fall re-start of Methodist Youth Fellowship (MYF) are ahead at St. John’s United Methodist Church, located at Summit and Hillcrest in Rockdale.
Pastor John Seaton said the Bible study will start Monday, Sept. 10, beginning at 6 p.m. in the church’s Old Fellowship Hall.
“The study is called Invitation and is an overview focusing on understanding the whole story of the Bible rather than particular parts,” he said. “It is designed to help us become more familiar with the Bible so that when we open it up to read it we can better grasp what it is saying to us.”
MYF will begin Sunday, Sept. 9 at 5:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. “There will be a snack supper and lesson for youth in grades 6 through 12,” Pastor Seaton said. All interested area youth are invited.
