COMMUNICANT'S CLASS UPDATE FROM DAVE LINGLE
We will not be having a Communicant's Class this year for two reasons. In the first place, it did not occur to me to ask about it until just recently, so there isn't' really enough time to get it planned in an appropriate way for this year. And secondly, because there are only a few young people who would be eligible next year, ti might e somewhat awkward to have a class for them alone. So, I've made the decision to skip this year and include the students who will be in both 7th and 8th grades next year. If you have any question, please speak to me.
Ken Bailey's latest book, Jesus through Middle Eastern Eyes: Cultural Studies in the Gospels is now available in our Library.
