Pentateuch - Setting Out On
The Right Path

A study in scripture, Tuesday evenings
November 4, 11, and 18th. 7pm in the Undercroft

The word Pentateuch means “The Five Books.” They stand at the beginning of the Bible and prepare the way for the rest of the Bible. From them we learn how important we are in God’s eyes. We also learn how little attention people pay to God in spite of all the things God does for us. Let’s spend some time walking through the Pentateuch, enjoying its message, and learning about our spiritual journey.

Join us for three consecutive Tuesdays to explore scripture. The series will hosted by Fr. Tim Schehr, a professor of biblical studies at the Athenaeum of Ohio.
