Small Group Bible Study with Mark Lucas
We have all been through a lot these past few years. Considering the challenges and struggles of life, what does it mean to worship a God who creates and calls creation good (Genesis 1)? What might it mean to tap into creative new beginnings in our lives and faith today? Join this 10-week small group Bible study on Genesis 1-5 to discover how God’s word creates new beginnings in our world today.
