Join us to Animate Faith!

Our Sunday morning adult education group (aka  Bible Study Group!)  will be starting a new series on Sunday, May 12.   We’ll be using a resource from Spark House called “animate FAITH.”   This is a series looking at FAITH from various perspectives.  Each week we will watch a short video featuring a contemporary Christian giving their personal take on an aspect of faith.  Then we’ll respond to the video with our own comments.  It will be enriching.  There are 7 sessions (God, Religion; Jesus; Salvation; Cross; Bible; Church).   This all begins Sunday, May 12.

We meet Sundays at 9 AM.  If you’ve ever toyed with the idea of getting involved, now is an ideal time for you to take part.  Join us as we explore new faith horizons together!
