Galatians

Fruits of Freedom Bible Study

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Join us for a new Bible study series in partnership with St. Columba’s and led by The Rev. Dr. Hillary Raining!


We invite you to dive deeply into Paul’s letter to the Galatians—a text that has shaped the church’s understanding of what it means to be agents of grace. In this series, we'll explore how Galatians offers a compelling vision of the freedom given by the Spirit, a freedom that calls us beyond boundaries and divisions toward a more inclusive and hope-filled community.


Each week, we’ll reflect on how this ancient letter speaks to our lives today, helping us recognize the Spirit’s work within us and calling us to a way of life rooted in love, justice, and belonging. Whether you’re new to Bible study or a seasoned participant, all are welcome.


Come and discover how the fruits of freedom can transform our hearts and our world.


Tuesdays 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM, beginning February 24th (the first Tuesday in Lent) via Zoom. Register below for your unique Zoom link. Replays will be available within a few days of each session.

Starts Tuesday, February 24th, 2026
