This group meets two Thursdays a month September through April. This year we are studying the Old Testament. Facilitator is the Rev. Betty Piwowar (B. Ed, M.A., M. Div.) This course may be taken as part of a four-year lay reader's program, which includes Old Testament, New Testament, theology, and liturgy, or as a one-time course for general interest. Our lay readers are lay leaders trained to lead worship, preach, or lead other ministries in our church.
