Northern Illinois Online Bible Study (NIOBS) meets via Zoom every Monday evening (except for major holidays) at 7:00 PM Central Time. See our page devoted to NIOBS Bible Study, and/or email us at heatherhopefarm@gmail.com to be put on the list and receive a Zoom link.

April through May, 2026 we study the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew and the Sermon on the Plain in Luke. Our friend, Mark Allan Powell joins us April 13. All are welcome!

Lunch and Learn is an in-person weekly discussion group that we coordinate at Salem Lutheran Church, 1145 DeKalb Avenue, Sycamore, Illinois, 60178. We meet most Thursdays for 60 to 75 minutes, starting at 11:30 AM Central Time.

Email us at heatherhopefarm@gmail.com for more information and/or to be put on an email information list.

All members help choose topics. Recently we have learned about diverse saints and heroes of the church, and various ways scholars have construed the “Historical Jesus.”

Dog Demonstrations

We no longer travel to do herding dog demonstrations. But if families or non-profit groups would like to stop by for a brief demonstration during the warmer months when we have sheep grazing here, we would be happy to accommodate. Please email us at heatherhopefarm@gmail.com to discuss and arrange.
