Introduction to Club 52

Introducing the Club 52 Bible Study Program for 2011-2012:
This new Bible Study program grows upon the Club 52 Bible Reading program offer a few years ago.  All are welcome to join in this multi-media program for the 2011-2012 school year.  Club 52 will use multiple social media and web-based sites, as well as a monthly face-to-face gathering to promote reading and studying scripture in our daily lives.

• Monthly Meetings will be the Third Saturday of each month at 8:00 am at LCR for more in-depth reflection of each months Bible readings.

There will also be a paper version of the study available for those who do not wish to participate on-line.

• The goal of Club 52 is to provide daily Bible reading with reflection questions for weekly discussion using technology and face-to-face time on a monthly basis to allow groups to form around scripture discussion and reflection.

Each week the Bible Study will begin on LCR Club 52 blog spot.           

• Start here at “lcrclub52.blogspot.com”.

The LCR Club 52 blog spot will list the weekly scripture and feature an introduction to each scripture reading.  The blog spot will also be the place you will want to check-in each day for the various reflection questions based on the daily reading focus.

For those choosing to use the Club 52 Bible Study book the weekly readings and daily reflection questions are printed in the quarterly calendar.
