Adult Bible Study
Where: St. Paul Lutheran Church Lower Level
When: Between Services (9:45am)
ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL WITH PASTOR DON: Beginning Sunday, November 13th I will be leading a new adult education study, “Faith that Sees Through the Culture.” This study will give us a fresh conversation about seeing through the eyes of faith that our identity is in Christ and that God is present how and where he said he would be, and to clearly see all this in the midst of a culture that
vies for our very souls. While I encourage all adults in our congregation to attend Bible study between services, I especially encourage parents with young children to attend. We have a Sunday school for your children to learn about God while you attend the adult education. Please come!
Good things happen in the church and people’s lives when they study the Bible together. We meet in the Lower level of the church at 9:45 AM.
