Weekly Bible Studies
The Bible
from Scratch: The Old Testament,
beginning February 1 at noon, in the Adult Education Room. Do
you have memories of your Sunday school teacher expecting you to
memorize all of the books of the Bible in order? Can you recite
them still? Have you been in conversation with someone who quotes
so many Bible verses that you feel intimidated and embarrassed about
how little you know about the Bible? Were you ever in a Bible study
group when the leader instructed the class members to look up a
Bible passage and you weren’t quite sure where to look? Have you
been invited by someone to attend a Bible study group but thought of
many reasons not to go because you were sure you would feel out of
place? If you have answered one or more of these questions in
the affirmative come and see what happens when we start from scratch
and get a sense of the sweep of the Old Testament, its characters,
their stories, and God’s story. Join the adventure for either part
or all of the series, but know that you are always welcome. For
more information contact Brad Walters,
bwalters@oakmontpresby.org.
Women's Bible Study meets on Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm in
the Lona McCrae Room. If you have questions, please

Study meets on Saturday morning at 8:00 am at various local
restaurants. If you have
questions about this group please contact Eric Walker (412.953.0249,

Weekday Bible
Studies
Each week two
weekday Bible studies meet at OPC. Guided lessons and supplemental
readings provide access to learners of all stages of Biblical
familiarity, and the weekly discussion format is equally suitable
for participants attending on a regular basis or simply as able,
and new members are always welcome! The Food for the
Journey Bible Study meets Wednesdays at noon in the Adult
Education Room. The Sleepers Awake Bible Study
meets Wednesday mornings at 6:30 am in the Adult Education Room.
Come join us for
either of these compelling studies and enjoy the blessings of
growing and sharing in the life of faith seeking understanding.
For more
information about either of the above studies please contact Brad
Walters (412.828.5770,
