Adult Sunday Bible Studies Sundays 9:15 - 10:15 AM Adult Forum @Library. Led by Elvin Harms. Current topic is Run the Race: Jesus rescued us from a life of selfishness, disappointment, and worthlessness. He made us saints and gave us a race to run day by day. It is a race of great joy and great challenges. Why do we run the race? How do we get our spiritual bodies in shape? How do we stay on track? How do we win the race? This class is intended to make your faith stronger, your calling clearer, and set your Godly passion on fire!   The Miracles of Jesus @Sanctuary. Led by Pastor Eric. Pastor Eric will explore the miracles Jesus performed. Why did He do them? What messages was He sending? What does it mean today? We will explore all this and more. Come grab a coffee and join the conversation! Nursery is available during the Sunday education hour for children younger than preschool age.
