Some students are curious about the Bible. Would you be interested in attending a "once-a-week" Bible discussion for one hour for four weeks at a time that works for you? It would be a no-pressure discussion for students who are new to the Bible.
If this is of interest to you contact James at jsiebert@ivcf.ca
