Beginning Sunday, April 17, 10 AM
Join us for senior high formation hour beginning on Sunday, April 17th at 10 AM.   This class will cover a range of topics all rooted in the concrete experiences of 9th-12th graders. We will simply be tracing how our faith lives are tightly tied (sometimes surprisingly so!) to our lives as 21st century Americans. Join us on Sunday mornings to have your mind blown and your faith enriched!
Family Foundations Adult Christian Formation Class
Sundays, 10:00 AM, Children's Ministry Center

During Jesus's time did you know:
  •  the most common type of pottery typically found in Jewish tombs was cooking pots
  •  Jewish tombs were to be located at least 50 cubits outside the limits of habitation in a city or town and never to the west.
  • Jews mourned their dead for a full year and only Jews practiced secondary burial.
Join us Sunday as we roll back the stone in the world of Jesus or maybe the stone was dragged?
