Sunday Mornings: Adult Study Group

Our Adult Study Group meets in the comfortable, intimate setting of our church library on Sundays at 9 am from September to May, just before the weekly 10:30 worship service.

Each study group session is usually centered on a particular book that we all read. Each session runs for 6 to 8 weeks. Group activities and discussions are guided by study group members, by Rev. Dr., Doris Chandler, or by one of our parish associates.

Our Adult Study Group is a wonderful opportunity for learning, reflection, and lively discussion as we share thoughtful insights and opinions on diverse topics of concern to us all as people of faith and citizens of the world. Join us for one or more Sundays in any Study Group session -- it's up to you!

No registration necessary! Drop in whenever you like. For more information about current or upcoming Adult Study Group sessions, email the church office at 1presbyterian@gmail.com or call (845) 265-3220.
