Online Bible Study
Thursdays @ 11am
Winter is long! Let’s take care of each other! If you are feeling isolated, disconnected, missing the interactions that come with being a member of a church, one of the best ways to connect with others is through Bible study.
We will be studying parables in the Old and New Testaments. All you will need is an internet connection, a Bible translation of your choice, a desire to know more about our faith, and, of course, wanting to connect with friends. Congregants have connected online to discuss the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, The Parable of the Sower, and The Parable of Lost Coin.
Join Rev. Donna on Zoom each Thursdays at 11 am. To join, let Donna know so she can send you a link. revdonna@wolfeboroucc.org.

Virtual Sunday School
Intergenerational
The Beatitudes: An Illustrated Curriculum is a twelve-session, verse-by-verse study of the Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew. The intergenerational curriculum explores Jesus’ timeless teaching through art, reflection, and discussion. We will hear Jesus’ vision of God’s inclusive kingdom, observe how Jesus turned expectations and traditional beliefs about being blessed upside down, and imagine ways to live into the promises of Jesus’ Beatitudes.
While we are worshiping from home, we will be sharing the lesson each week with you to teach and learn from home. Please contact the church office to get the link from our weekly newsletter.
