Journey With Scripture | Second Floor Library
Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge, your people shall be my people, and your God my God—Ruth 1:16. The lectionary cycle of readings ends with stories of marginalized women—a foreigner, a poor widow, a childless wife. They love steadfastly and become pivotal figures for our faith, our history, and the Advent of our Lord. Come join us.
This week, Lora Bethe will serve as facilitator. Our readings are: Ruth 1:1–18; Psalm 146; Hebrews 9:11–14; and Mark 12:28–34.
Seekers | Room 234
