This week, join our St. The Baptist Bible Study as we discuss the topics of the gifts of God's love, election/predestination, and salvation being a free gift offered to all, which we are called to reciprocate in the way we live our lives.

If any of these topics interest you, be sure to give this week's session a stream!
