BIBLE
STUDY: Wednesday mornings 9:30am sharp beginning Sept. 10:
We will be continuing our study of the book of Hebrews in
the N.T. The book was written to a community that was exhausted,
tired of serving the world, tired of worship, tired of being
unique in the community and especially tired of spiritual
struggles. We will see how the book is a long sermon to address
these concerns and point to Jesus as the high priest for comfort
and relief. Sunday evening 7:30pm, beginning Sept
21 We will be beginning a new study. This is YOUR
opportunity to choose a topic. Come learn more about the Bible
and our Lutheran theology, engage in lively discussions and
fellowship.
