Notes from the January Bible study at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Round Top: “Journeys with Angels” was the theme for the Jan. 7 Bible study led by Pastor John David Nedbalek. Do you believe in angels? How do you think they look? Have you experienced their presence? Do you believe each of us has an angel watching over us? Are they sent by God? What do you think of the relationship between stars and angels? Four angels are named in Bible lessons. In this session we looked for angels above us, beyond us, and among us. Join in next month’s Bible study set for Feb. 4 at 9:30 a.m. Pearlie Wagner served as hostess for this month.
