New sessions of the adult confirmation class start regularly, whenever we have a group ready to meet.

The Lutheran Study Bible Pdf
People often come to the text of the Bible hoping to extract a few useful tips on how to live the good life. We want the gift of patience, a way to handle despair, or advice on choosing good friends. We want a better life. Approach the Bible that way and you’ll be reading in the dark.
The truth is that the Bible is a historical drama unfolding from first to last with Jesus Christ as the central character. Who Jesus is and what he did in history makes all the difference. Jesus made a bold claim. He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” We embrace the claim of Jesus that “these are the very Scriptures that testify about me.” The Bible is the account of the only true Light of the world. Approach the Bible that way and you’ll be reading with the lights on.
Sunday Bible Study
Holy Baptism: My Adoption into God's Family (December 2017 - January 2018)
This class offers a thorough review of Baptism, one of the greatest gifts God has given us. Through a study of the pertinent passages we will learn what the Bible says about this life-giving Sacrament. This study also helps us understand how Baptism has been taught by other churches at different times in history. We meet at 9:25 on Sunday mornings in the Fellowship Hall on the lower level of the church. All are welcome!
