Men's Bible Study
Thursday mornings at 8:00 a.m.
All men interested in coming together to study the Bible are welcome . Various topics and verses are discussed and we're there to learn. You don't need to be a bible scholar and there are no tests. Usually some humor is shared to start the day followed by prayer concerns and there is always hot coffee and treats to munch on while the study is in progress. Join us!Homestead Bible Study
