A new Introduction to the Apocrypha study on the Second Book of Esdras begins Monday January 5th. There will be a 30-minute video each week on the website followed by the Zoom discussion session at 7:00 pm on Monday evenings.

Second Esdras describes Ezra’s “visions” including a mystical vision of the heavenly Jerusalem. A major theme of the book is how a good God can allow bad things to happen. This study also serves as an introduction to the Apocrypha and the Septuagint.

To join the ZOOM discussion, or if you have additional questions, please contact send an email to [email protected] or call the church office at 972/252-8519. Sign-up sheets are also available in the Narthex.
