We will go through the six chapters over a period of weeks and discuss what different religious teachers and pastors say about the book by Paul that discusses both God's love for us and how to be mature Christians. Deb Nussbaum and Jill and Tony Mascena host this Zoom study. We end every session with prayer concerns.  All are welcome.  If you would like the Zoom link, please contact the church office to be put on the Porch Study mailing list.  The second session is scheduled for Tuesday, February 2.
