BIBLE STUDY GROUPS |
|
 |
LIFELIGHT BIBLE STUDY
Come join the Lifelight Bible Class
Sunday mornings as we start a new study on the Gospel of Mark
starting January 31st. The Gospel of Mark emphasizes the deeds
of Jesus as well as the centrality of the word in the ministry
of Jesus and the effect of its authority on men. It is chiefly
by Jesus’ works that He is marked as the Proclaimer and Bringer
of the almighty grace of the kingdom of God, as the anointed
King in whom man can trust, the Son of God in whom man can
believe. The class meets in the east Parish Hall classroom at
9:45. Visitors always welcome. |
PARISH HALL BIBLE STUDY
A Bible study on the Revelation of Jesus Christ as given to St.
John the Apostle (Revelation)
during the Sunday Bible Growth time. Pastor Groeling will teach
this often confusing book with a fresh understanding and
perspective, bringing alive an under-standing of how God’s Grace
works in a troubled time. If you have questions about this
class, please speak to Pastor. The class meets in the main room
of the Parish Hall, starting at 9:45 a.m.
