Journey Sunday School Class
Trinity’s newest Sunday school class, whose name was inspired by the 2011 Advent study, The Journey, welcomes new members, especially people going through the many journeys we take in life. Through all journeys, God is with us and calls to us. This class will examine the journeys and other issues we confront as Christians and Methodists, as we seek to grow our faith. We meet in room 107 during the Sunday school hour.
Lenten Bible Study on the Gospel of John
In its wisdom, the early church chose to keep four Gospel accounts of the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Three of these are very similar to each other in both what they tell about the story of Jesus and how they tell it. However, the Gospel of John stands apart.Join Patricia Moore as she leads this 11 week Disciple study on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 AM, beginning on February 21 (the day before Ash Wednesday). What a great way to prepare yourself for Easter! Sign up today in the Narthex.
