This marathon will provide a quick study of the 66 books in the Bible in an instructive, but fun day. The study will hit the high points of "people you want to know" and "things you may have to ponder" in the Bible.

At the end of the day, the study should open up the Bible for those who know little or nothing, and bring some deepening surprises to those who know more. Materials and drinks will be provided, but participants need to bring snacks/lunch food for the day. Interested persons must register by calling 992-2042.
