Adult Class: CHRISTIANITY - THE FIRST THREE CENTURIES
How could a tiny, persecuted faith become the most successful phenomenon in all of history? During its first three hundred years from Christ to Constantine, the Christian church had to wage a two-front campaign against external persecution and internal heresy until it finally conquered the Roman Empire - and the future. Join us in Room 149 (just off the Parish Hall) after the meal. We'll be led by Mary Beth Vanderpoorten, who has experience in both studying and teaching this topic. The sessions will start off with a video segment by Dr. Paul Maier which will then lead into the discussion.
You are invited to take part in Fun Family Wednesday this fall! This will be the first year in the new site with an expanded program!
- A fellowship meal will again start our FFW evenings. More details on costs, menus and such will be announced shortly.
- Pastor Randy and DCE Randy will lead an opening devotion just before the learning and teaching activities begin.
- We're adding a group for our 4 & 5 year olds. We have three ladies ready and willing to be with these children to supervise some simple Jesus-centered activities for them.
- We're continuing our Kid's Bible Club - this year being able to add some crafts that the children can do in addition to our games, music and Bible stories.
- Junior Confirmation led by Pastor Bard continues as one of the mainstays of Fun Family Wednesday.
