| | Seekers Class to Study "The Shack"
 The Seekers Class will begin a six week study of "The Shack" on October 26th. "The Shack" is a best selling novel by William P. Young that wrestles with the timeless question: In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant, “Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" Reviews have called the book "spiritually profound . . . theologically enlightening . . . spiritually daring.”The Seekers Class is an adult discussion class dedicated to exploring our Christian faith through interesting and informative discussions each Sunday morning that carry over into our daily lives. We encourage expression of your opinions and always search for new and interesting interpretations of Christian principles and issues. We look forward to your input. Come, join us on Sunday morning in the conference room adjacent to the church office. |
