New Adult Education Class

Great Stories of the Old Testament, Sundays, 8:45 - 9:45, August 11 - November 24. Each week, Fr. Jamie will offer a talk on a different Old Testament story. You've heard these stories before, but how well do you really know them? How does the Bible really tell them? All together, the series will cover the entire epic story of the Old Testament, from Creation to the Exodus to the Kingdom of Israel to the Babylonian Exile to the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Jamie hopes to make these talks funny, interesting, surprising, and inspiring.
