The Devotions group is studying the Acts of the Apostles. Please join us on Tuesday mornings for this study led by Dn James.

We will follow this general outline of 13 sessions.

Sometimes we may not get through each “session,” or, we may spill over into the next depending on the pace of our reading.

We will provide some hand-outs to aid us in following and learning the “stories” that we will be reading.

We will use the Orthodox Study Bible as the Main Text to Read Together
