The Prodigal God

Please join us this Wednesday evening as we begin a new discussion and Bible study at 6:30. We will start each night, as usual, praying for one another and for the needs of the church, the community and beyond. Then, as we start this new study together, we will be challenged to consider a fresh understanding of the gospel by looking at Jesus’ parable of the two sons from Luke 15. After watching a short video each night, we’ll discuss this parable and how the truths we learn apply to our lives.

As always, we invite you to join us first for our Wednesday evening supper at 5:45. Hope to see you here!

If you’re interested, below is a short trailer about the Bible study.
