Ecclesiastes Study - Seeking the Kingdom
Seeking The Kingdom will be conducting an in-depth study of Ecclesiastes, one of history’s most enduring collections of ancient wisdom. STK takes a scholarly approach to teaching the text while relying on class participants to interpret and share their personal insights and applications. This series will run from July 12 through November 15. Everyone is invited to come and explore this sacred text with us. Registration is not required. If you’re interested in hearing about your favorite text passage in Ecclesiastes, please email Theron Clark Stuart the dates that your favorite text will be discussed.
