What's Up This Week in Sunday School?
"Discovering Jesus: We can KNOW Jesus!"
|
|
Greetings!
As I look outside the front doors of the church I see the snow coming down just one day after record breaking high temperatures in Green Bay/De Pere. We have lots of people joining in to "find something warm for their soul" this winter and I can't help but wonder if the unseasonably high temps are connected to with all the activities, "heartwarming", classes and Bible studies that are going on at New Hope! I think the wonderful warmth from New Hope is raising the temps around us! If you aren't involved.... come check it out!
See you in church. I'll save you a seat!
