The Discovery Series: A Christian Journey
Sunday Mornings this summer at St. Margaret’s
The Discovery Series is designed to help every Christian discover their own path to a life in Christ. The series is an invitation to spiritual growth and lays the groundwork to begin or continue a spiritual journey. The classes will take place on Sunday mornings from 9am until 9:50 in June and July.

The classes will be a mix of video presentations and group discussion.
