Growth Groups
This summer, DPC’s Growth Groups will be reading The Bible Tells Me So…by noted biblical scholar, professor, and author Peter Enns in anticipation of his visit here on Sunday, September 14.
As a longtime admirer of Peter’s work and his unique perspective on Scripture, Pastor Becca Bateman offers her own personal insight on the book in the latest edition of DPC’s The Tidings newsletter. You can read her letter here. Just scroll to page 2.
The Bible Tells Me So…is widely available through all major online booksellers, likely at your own local bookstore or library, and audiobook. We encourage you to pick up a copy as we build excitement for Peter’s inspiring visit with us. Read along on your own and keep watch for touchpoints in worship throughout the summer…Or join in a Growth Group to read and discuss with church members and friends.
Groups will meet on various days and times.
For a complete study guide to help you follow along and become more engaged with the book, CLICK HERE.
If you have interest in learning more about, or joining another, existing group – or even facilitating a new one – we encourage you to speak directly with Pastor Becca or any of the Adult Education Committee Members.
