All Ages Education Hour This Sunday

Adult Ed Class in November
God's Great Commands and Commission

We will be looking at selected scripture passages that deal with priorities as Christ followers that help us focus on what is most important. Sometimes situations can challenge us on focusing on what comes first. The Bible is clear on how we (as a church or individually) need to always keep the order straight on what comes first - love. This class meets in Room 305 and is facilitated by Ralph Blessing.

Pastor Marty's Class

Pastor Marty's class will resume this Sunday with
The Writings Of John in the Great Room.
