Monday Evening Bible Study – Read the Bible in a year Join us for a weekly Bible study.  Marlboro’s Youth and Young Adult Fellowship will be reading the Bible together in one year starting September 1 st and we would love for you to join us.  We will meet each week on Mondays at 6:00pm to discuss what we read over the previous week.  The daily reading schedule is available in the vestibule of the church. Please keep a notebook of things you discovered during your weekly reading that the group should discuss. Every week, the YF gets to hear Ryan’s perspective on Bible Topics.  It would be great if

they had the chance to hear other mature, wise perspectives too.  As a church, reading the Bible together is good for us.  We benefit and the YF benefits from you being there.  Every person participating should come expecting to be a student and reading together.  Our first meeting will be Monday, September 7th.  Hope to see you there.
