"What's So Amazing About Grace?"

Following the 3 Simple Rules to do no harm, do good, and stay in love with God requires lots of Grace. This discussion based class will challenge us to look at the radical and life-changing ways that Grace finds us, and the way that its power can change our lives and the life of the church.

24 Hours That Changed the World

by Adam Hamilton

Wednesday Evenings at 7 p.m.

  March 19 through April 16

No one event in human history has received more attention than the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. Dr. Todd Jordan will lead this Lenten study of Adam Hamilton's book. The study will guide us through the last twenty-four hours of Jesus' life, and help us experience and understand the significance of Jesus' suffering and death in a way we have never done before. Whether you are a long-time Christian or simply curious about the story of Christ, you're invited to retrace the last 24 hours of Jesus' life.  

Come early for Supper at 5:30 p.m. in the Activity Center.

Child Care is Provided.
