THE LAST DAYS OF JESUS

The Last Days of Jesus Bible Class Sundays through April 6@ 9:00am  -- just in time for the Easter celebration.  Join Stu Voeller each Sunday morning through April 6th as he provides a way to prepare for what should be the greatest celebrated holiday of the Christian faith by walking us through the events leading up to the resurrection.  Class will be held in Rooms 212-214 off the Gathering Place.

FOUNDATIONS

Wednesdays 6:30-7:40, Room 106 --An adult discussion & Study group meeting on Wednesday evenings during Kids' Ministries.  Never read the Bible?  You fit!  Been coming to church forever?  You fit!  Because Biblical teaching is not necessarily what you've always believed.  Come and ask any question about God or the Bible that you've always wondered about--like, Jesus is God's Son, but does that mean He is equal to God?  Where did the Holy Spirit come from?  How do we know the Bible is true?  Is the Trinity found in the Bible?  Is there one God or three?  How can I know what God wants me to do?  Finally-in all these discussions, what are the implications for my life?  What does it matter?  Come with questions or not--let's explore together!

CULVER'S FUNDRAISING NIGHT
