Adult Sunday School
+ Sunday, May 1 - We begin our last series in Adult Education before our Summer Break. The class will be called, "The Way of Light." We are familiar with "Stations of the Cross", with its emphasis on the suffering and death of Jesus. The "Way of Light" will invite us to consider some of the Biblical stories of the resurrection, and their meaning for us and our world. The class will be taught by Fr. Hahn and Deacon Lorna Erixson. |
Submit your Graduate
+ It's May, and graduation is quickly approaching for many students! If you would like your graduating student to be recognized in our announcements or newsletter, please submit his or her name to the office by Monday, May 16. We can only announce those names which are submitted. We are accepting graduates from high school, college, and graduate school only... no other grade levels, please. Thank you! |
