B365 Groups
B365 refers to FLPC's year-long, church-wide study of Magrey Devega's The Bible Year: A Journey Through Scripture in 365 Days.
If you’re looking to increase your Scripture knowledge, join one of these small groups (or start your own)! Each group will meet for 8 weeks and then determine how it will continue to support each other through the year. If you form your own group, please let Ed Black know! We'd love to keep track of who is doing it!
