Sunday worship services at Wayside Gospel Chapel will resume, Lord willing, on October 23rd, 2022.

Worship service cancelled for Sunday 15 NOV 2020

The service at Wayside Gospel Chapel for tomorrow is cancelled. This is due to the possible exposure of three of our families including my wife and I  on Tuesday to COVID-19 when with other family members. Since there is a great increase in cases especially in Lackawanna County and elsewhere in NEPA we need to err on the side of caution again until certain that none of us developed symptoms, and the results from tests already done for those involved have been received. 

As in the past the live stream from Faith Baptist Fellowship Church is an option. Their web site is at http://fbf.church/, their Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/pg/faithbaptistfellowshipchurch/posts/?ref=page_internal, and their YouTube page is at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC549l7ytlW3MSUWIZtzPmCg. They are “scheduled to broadcast 11/15/20 10:00am - 11/15/20 11:30am.”

Faith Baptist Fellowship Church live streaming Wednesday Bible study: “Studying a Little Book in the Good Book”

Faith Baptist Fellowship Church will be live streaming

Pastor John T. "Jack" Jeffery’s Bible study on Wednesday: 

“Studying a Little Book in the Good Book.”

This is scheduled to broadcast 20 MAY 2020 from at 7:00 PM.

The live stream should be available on Faith Baptist Fellowship Church's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pg/faithbaptistfellowshipchurch/posts/, 

their web site at http://fbf.church/, and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC549l7ytlW3MSUWIZtzPmCg/featured.

In preparation for this Wednesday's live streamed Bible Study here are 3 homework questions, in order from the easiest to the more difficult. After considering the answers to these questions we will be looking at one book of the Bible as a practical example.

1. What are the most helpful tools or aids — besides Scripture itself — that should be in our personal libraries?

2. How many different kinds of literature are included in the Bible, and what are they?

3. What should be the “Top Ten” Bible texts that must always be kept in mind when studying the Bible?

Keep your answers "socially distant" from others so they can do their own work!
