Explaining Christianity: Campus Center, Sundays, April 27-June 1, 9:30-10:30am. Who is Jesus? Why do so many people think he’s so important? What is a Christian? What does any of this have to do with me? Do you have unanswered questions like these about Jesus, or do you know someone who needs a place to ask these questions? Join Pastor Craig for six weeks to get a guided tour through the eyewitness account of Jesus’s life from the Gospel of Mark. You don’t need to have any previous knowledge of the Bible. You won’t be asked to read aloud, pray aloud, or answer questions in front of the group. However, you will be given time and space to ask questions, or you can just listen to the questions others may have.
Groups meet from 9:00-10:30 am in various rooms on the church campus. Contact Steve Noble.
