Adult Faith Formation Bible Study: 360, Reading the Bible Anew 360 is a journey from Genesis to Revelation that allows us to experience scripture in new and dynamic ways. As Christians, we simply do not learn or just study the scripture for knowledge. We assimilate it, and take it into our lives in such a way that it mobilizes us to acts of love, compassion and justice. This Bible study meets on Wednesdays at 9:30am and 7:00pm in the Life Center. You do not want to miss 360; a chance to read the Bible again for the first time. __________________________________________________

But he said to them, Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.” Mark 16:6-7 This simple tool is based on a focus verse from the Sunday text, then your household uses it in a nightly ritual - SHARE highs and lows, READ the Bible verse or story, TALK about how the Bible might relate to highs and lows, PRAY for one another’s highs and lows, BLESS one another. _______________________________________________________
