Stuff Going On . . .


Monday, February 27th at 7:00 p.m. - Our Lenten journey study begins.  We are hosting a Monday evening
  exploration based on the DVD and book, "Final Words" by Adam Hamilton.  We will explore Jesus' final
  words as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of those who stood near the cross.  Each session begins
  with the biblical account followed by a first-person story as might have been told from the viewpoint of one of
  the characters at the cross.  Then we will explore the meaning of Jesus' last words for our lives today.
