The focus for both is “Sharing Good News”. All adults are invited to join Pastor Ben as he leads the last two lessons in Organic Outreach in the Auditorium. SUMMER ADULT BIBLE CLASS Starting June 17 and going throughout the summer The History of Christianity Through the Centuries Pastor Ben and Lyle will be team teaching this class which will begin with the “Early Church” (in the first century) and move on to the 21st century. This class will meet in the Auditorium from 9:45-10:40 each Sunday morning. We’ll discuss and study the false teachings that arose in the various time periods, the significant events and people, and where Christianity was growing. We’ll also see how world events were impacting what was happening in the Church. And finally, we’ll also discuss how all of these things still have importance for us and for the Christian Church today. While the sessions will be designed to be “independent” from each other (so that you can miss a week or two and still understand what’s being talked about), it will be a class that you won’t want to miss.
