Adult Study - The Power of Forgiveness - Starts June 5
The Power of Forgiveness is the title of our Adult Christian Study which will begin on June 5, 2022 at 11:15 a.m. in the Covenant Conference Room (across from the Nursery). In a six-part series, we will delve into the deeper implications of forgiveness as a central value of our faith. With video segments, we consider real-life situations of people who have suffered great loss and injury and have found the strength and wisdom to forgive those who have harmed them. Come be part of the discussion!
