The Word for Adults John 3: 16 is a new 12-week study by Max Lucado.  One sentence, softly spoken nearly 2,000 years ago, is as relevant today as when Jesus first uttered it. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16.  Led by Todd & Marti Ringenbach, Sunday, 9:30 AM, Rm. B9.

Faith Parenting:  Meets periodically.
