Lenten Bible Study:
Join us for our Lenten Bible Study Wednesday Mornings at 10 in the downstairs classroom of the Education Building. The study will be led by Pastor Kyle. The Lenten Study on the book, "The Difficult Words of Jesus" by Amy-Jill Levine shows how these difficult teachings would have sounded to the people who first heard them, how they have been understood over time, and how we might interpret them in the context of the Gospel of love and reconciliation. If you would like to purchase the optional book you can find it here at https://a.co/ggKLJVF
