CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

New Lenten Bible Study

Walking The Bible: A Journey By Land Through The Five Book of Moses

Join us this year for our new Wednesday Lenten Study held at 7:30 p.m. in the church Parlor. This award winning PBS DVD series is both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest. Walking the Bible: A Journey by Land Through the Five Books of Moses describes one present-day man's epic odyssey, by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel, through the greatest stories ever told. From crossing the Red Sea to climbing Mount Sinai to touching the burning bush, Bruce Feiler's inspiring journey will forever change your view of some of history's most storied events. This is a special DVD presentation you will definitely want to find time each week to attend:

February 24, March 3, March 10, March 17, and March 24.
