Adult CE

In adult Christian education today, Bill Miller and Bruce Smith begin a 5-week Lenten series entitled: What Are We Called to Do? Five Central Themes in the Teachings of Jesus. If you were to name five core themes in Jesus's message, what would they be? Today's core teaching is on Lovingkindness.

 

Remember to set your clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night. Otherwise you'll be arriving at worship just in time for the final hymn!
