Bible Basics (Location: Worship Center)
Leader: Pastor Tom Lyberg
Fall 2009 - The Bible's Big Story - Learning the basics of the Bible. Have you ever wondered how the Bible fits together? What do the stories of Genesis have to do with Jesus and his ministry? What about the prophets? How do the letters of Paul shape how we live as a church today? How do the Old and New Testaments even connect? Join in the Bible's Big Story, a visual overview fo the Bible to understand God's call to his people from Creation to the Church to the end of time. Using the same materials as our confirmation class, it is a great opportunity for our parents and mentors to better engage our students in thier studies and talk with them about faith. The Bible's Big Story is a great introduction for anyone that has been shy about joining a Bible Study - now you can learn the basics in a comfortable and colorful way.
