Christianity 101
"Is there more to life than this?" If you've been asking that question, then Christianity101 (C101) is a great place for you to find answers. C101 explores some of the foundational principles of Christianity: Who is Jesus?, Why Did Jesus Die?, Why Should I Read the Bible?, How Do I Pray?, and 10 other topics. We'll share a meal together, watch a video on the evening's topic, break for dessert, and then discuss the material together (C101 uses the ALPHA course materials).
When: Feb. 10 - Apr 28 (Wednesdays from 5:30 - 7:45 PM)
Where: Third Presbyterian Church (600 Forest Ave)
RSVP: Jennifer Parham (jparham@needleseye.org or 358.1283)
