Bible Schools, Retreats & Study Days
Second Weekend of Every Month - Columbus Bible Study
Our Columbus area believers host monthly Bible study weekends that are open to all. Every second weekend of the month, they hold a Saturday evening Bible study beginning at 7:00. The topic continues at 10:00 a.m. in a 45-50 minute Sunday School lesson followed by a wrap-up exhortation tying the topic to our Lord Jesus Christ and the memorial emblems. A shelter house at Antrim Park is usually reserved for the Sunday morning service and a pot luck meal is provided by the Columbus locals.

Upcoming Events
February 27 - Youth Seeking Truth activity
Mark your calendars for 3:00 on Saturday, February 27th, as the teens and tweens of YST will meet at church to bake some fantabulous cookies and watch a most excellent movie! An evening this amazing will require some preparation on the part of attendees. First, please call or email Beth C. with two movie choices. It can be something from the church's teen library (see the library website for a list of available movies), something you bring from home, or something we rent. Second, please email her a cookie recipe or two. We will get to eat some of these and will share the remainders (assuming there are any) with folks the next Sunday. Also, please bring a couple cookie sheets with you on Saturday.
