Join Pastor Pat for a monthly journey exploring Scripture, theology, poetry, and music together. Each month we'll read a book that helps us think more clearly, love more deeply, and follow Christ more faithfully—plus dig into a book of the Bible, a classic hymn, a poem, and a piece of classical music. This is a fun way to read (or listen!) to an awesome book, get into the Bible, and discover how music and poetry can enrich our spiritual journey. Whether you're new to reading theology or have been at it for years, you're welcome here.

There are two ways to participate:
- In-person — Wednesday, February 25 at 12:00pm in the Twin Oaks Café (We will be holding the subsequent months on the last Wednesday of each month.)
- Online — Thursday, February 26 at 7:00 PM via Zoom (then last Thursday of each month)

Choose the option that works best for your schedule. Both groups cover the same material. Participants purchase their own copies. For details on each month's curriculum, visit bethanylauren.org or follow @simply_bible on Instagram. You can also listen to the Simply Bible Podcast here.
