Waquoit Church Selected to Pilot Mass Bible Society Program
Massachusetts Bible Society (MBS) has selected the Waquoit Congregational Church to pilot is new educational series, “What Is the Bible?” The six-week course covers basic Bible literacy and is not biased toward any tradition. As a partner church, Waquoit Congregational will provide feedback to MBS on the course as well as consult on future projects.
“We are delighted to be selected for this pilot program,” said The Rev. Nell Fields, Waquoit’s minister. “The Massachusetts Bible Society is a well-respected organization committed to biblical literacy. To offer this course here in Falmouth is huge. Typically one would have to be near a seminary or university to have access to this type of material. We are looking forward to being part of this important project.”
