This Week @ South Shore UMC

‘CAFÉ FAITH’ ADVENT STUDY CONCLUDES THIS WEEK

Café Faith is a Wednesday lunchtime study and fellowship opportunity. We gather via ZOOM link. Join us as we enjoy our meal, enjoy our fellowship, and enjoy time spent in the Word with God. We will use Todd Outcalt’s book Let Us Go Now to Bethlehem for this study. Our guiding text for this week’s discussion is Luke 1:39-50.

Email Pastor Sarah – sarah@southshoreumc.com – to receive the Zoom Link information.

Café Faith will resume in the New Year; our first Wednesday lunchtime gathering will be Wednesday, January 6, 2020.
