ABOUT MILLER ECCLES STUDY GROUP TEXAS

To that end, we invite qualified speakers to address the group on a broad range subjects pertinent to our faith. Our format encourages in-depth question and discussion that other forums are unable to accommodate. Our group is supported by the donations of those who attend. We suggest a donation of $10 per person. For those for whom these donations are a burden, please contribute what you can. The funds are used primarily to defray the travel and lodging costs of out-of-town speakers.
