Small Groups / Bible Study

WEDNESDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY (10:00am)  Each Wednesday we come together to study a book of the Bible.  This group usually meets for 90 minutes as part of our time is to check in and catch up with one another before prayer and digging in to the text.  This group usually has a study that goes for 5-6 weeks each study, so expect 4-5 different in-depth bible studies throughout the year.  We meet year round.

WEDNESDAY EVENING TEXT STUDY (7:15pm) Seasonally, a smaller group gathers to study the evenings Gospel reading which they heard in worship.  This is a relaxed group that often meets on the couches in front of the fireplace.

THURSDAY MORNING TEXT STUDY (10:00am)   Each Thursday we come together to study the coming Gospel for the week.  Typically 15-18 people spend about an hour with their Bibles discussing the Gospel text for worship.  It is led by a pastor, and the things we discuss often can be heard touched upon in the coming sermon.  A wonderful opportunity to get a head start on the worship experience.  Open to all.

SUNDAY MORNING TEXT STUDY (11:45am)    Meets seasonally in small group room near kitchen.  Each week during the school year this group gathers for a Bible Study.  This group also watches a movie once a month which we discuss as well.

LAKE MINNETONKA SHORES BIBLE STUDY (Presbyterian Homes in Spring Park)    Three Wednesdays each month we have a 45-minute bible study with St. John’s members (and their friends) who are residence of Lake Minnetonka Shores.  It is open to all, and the numbers are growing!  You can join us on the first, second, and fourth Wednesdays from 12:45-1:30 in the fireside room just inside the main doors.  On the third Wednesday of the month we host a communion/worship service for members of St. John’s (but open to all friends) living at Lake Minnetonka Shores.  They love to see visitors, so pop in.  Our numbers are growing for this important outreach as well.  And we always have a great dessert following the communion service.
