September 9 Weekly News


BIBLE CLASS:  What are some of the headlines that have grabbed your attention lately, and how should Christians respond?  What does God's Word say about vaccines?  How old should we be when we marry?  Are babies sinful?  Being 'spiritual' but not 'religious'?  Early communion and confirmation?  During this year's Adult Bible Class we will look at a host of contemporary issues and have the opportunity to suggest topics that you may have wondered about, but never had the opportunity to ask.  Join us in the Fellowship Room TODAY from 10:15-11:00 AM!
