Adult Faith Formation Bible Study:
HELP WANTED:
360, Reading the Bible Anew
A/V Desk Volunteers
360 is a journey from Genesis to Revelation that allows us to experience scripture in new and dynamic ways. As Christians, we simply do not learn or just study the scripture for knowledge. We assimilate it, and take it into our lives in such a way that it mobilizes us to acts of love, compassion and justice.
Volunteers are needed for our important audio/visual ministry. Would you be willing to learn how to operate the A/V desk and assist on Sunday mornings? All that is required is an interest in learning the audio board or video switcher, and that you are available on Sunday mornings on a rotating basis. For more information, call or text Kristian at 832-4912687.
This Bible study meets on Wednesdays at 9:30am and 7:00pm in the Life Center. The first topic is The People of God in Individual Communion-Genesis 1-11. You do not want to miss 360; a chance to read the Bible again for the first time. __________________________________________________
