9:30 Bible Class News
As the New Year begins our Study in Luke’s gospel is coming to a close. At this writing we are preparing to study the final two chapters. It’s been a fascinating study and I believe that we’re getting more comfortable with taking our time and looking at the text closely.
Beginning in February we’ll be shifting gears somewhat. We’ll be diving into the book of Hebrews and looking at the nature of Christ’s ministry, then and now.
If you are interested in joining us, please do. We gather in the Something In Common classroom around 9:30 am Sundays.
Christmas Pageants!
This year, we held our Annual Children's Christmas Pageant on two Sundays. Due to the record snowfall that kept many families stranded at home on Sunday December 20th, we held an encore performance of the pageant on Sunday December 27th. Thanks to all the children who participated in this year's performance. You were wonderful! | |
