Last Chance to Sign Up for the 1 Corinthians Bible Study.📙

Registration deadline: August 23

Group 1: Wednesday evenings | 6:30–8:00 p.m. | beginning September 9 on Zoom

Group 2: Thursday mornings | 10:00–11:30 a.m. | beginning September 10 on Zoom

When Paul wrote, “Love is patient; love is kind,” he wasn’t talking to a bride and groom. He was writing to a church struggling with conflict and division. That changes the way we hear these familiar words.

This fall, join Ann Palmerton for the 2026–27 PW/Horizons Bible Study as we journey through Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians and discover what this remarkable letter has to say to the church today.

These groups meet once a month on Zoom. Choose the option that fits your schedule:

  • Second Wednesday evenings, 6:30–8:00 p.m., beginning September 9.
  • Second Thursday mornings, 10:00–11:30 a.m., beginning September 10.

To sign up, email Pam Strange at pstrange@bspc.org
Study booklets are $14 (pay when you pick yours up). Please let Pam know if you’ll need a booklet.
