ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
this Sunday, October 29

6:00 p.m.
In the Parlor
Hardly a week goes by in which the faith of Islam is not in the news in some way. Because of this, I frequently find myself talking to Christians who have questions about Islam. Among these questions are What is Islam? Why does Islam seem to have so many followers? and How do I talk to my Muslim neighbors about my Christian faith?

If you have ever asked yourself these or other questions about Islam, then I hope you will join me this Sunday night at 6:00 p.m. for an hour long discussion about the Islamic faith as we continue a series of classes exploring other religions.

Blessings,
Pastor Rich
