50 Days of Easter Plan: 'The Way of Love'

We plan to start the book 'The Way of Love' Bible Challenge and meet during the normal Sunday School time to discuss throughout the 50 days of Easter (we are suspending our regular Bible Challenge while we do this and will resume that after Pentecost). Readings will start Easter Sunday, but we will meet for the first time to discuss the following Sunday). Contact Bliss Peterson ASAP to order books and learn more!
