Adult Formation Schedule

Adult formation for summer 2014, 

9:15 am adult classroom. Beginning  June 15 and throughout summer:

We will be studying the Gospel of John using the movie by the same name that has word for word the Gospel of John based on the American Bible Society's Good News Bible. The Gospel of John, perhaps the best-loved of the four Gospels, will vividly come alive in a faithful and powerful dramatization of the Biblical text in this movie that we will watch and discuss each week this summer. The movie meticulously re-creates the era of Jesus' life as seen through this gospel and is narrated by Christopher Plummer. This is a visual way to study this beautiful gospel together with friends during the summer on Sunday morning.

Altar Flowers 

There are only 7 available Sundays left to sponsor altar flowers for 2014. Be sure to sign up now in order to reserve your special day. The chart is in the Narthex. If you have any questions, please contact the church office.
