We meet in person most weeks at 2:30 pm Sunday at the Bucknell University Barnes & Noble Bookstore Cafe in beautiful downtown Lewisburg, where currently we are studying the Gospel of John in light of Orthodox Christian Tradition. Our basic resource is the Orthodox Study Bible (Thomas Nelson), although we supplement that with St. John Chrysostom's Homilies on the Gospel of John and the Holman Ancient Faith CSV Bible, which has selection from commentaries by the Church Fathers of the First Millennium. All are welcome, feel free to bring any Bible, and we have copies available. Occasionally if the bookstore is closed for inventory or a holiday, we gather instead across the street at the Paris Bakery. You can confirm our weekly meeting schedule on our home-page calendar.
In addition the archive on the Parish YouTube channel here, archives are posted on Fr. Paul's blog site where this Bible Study Resources page may be helpful.
