10:45am Classes
Luke (10:45) --
Come and join us as we fellowship and study the account of the life of Christ as recorded for us by Luke. This wonderful account of our Lord will help us gain a deeper understanding of the life, the works, and the teachings of Christ. Our hope and prayer is that it will lead us to a closer walk with Jesus and give us clearer insight into His will for each of us. We warmly welcome married couples and singles - young and old - anyone with a desire to learn more about Jesus, and to follow Him more closely. The class meets 10:45am-noon in room 440, finishing the Luke study with the passion week. Taught by Leong Tan.
After Luke, the class moves to a ten-week study of the Psalms. This study will differ from the one Leong taught a few years ago.
