Around the Community Our new Bible study class on the Letter to the Ephesians begins TODAY!! The letter presents us with a glorious liturgical celebration of God’s eternal purpose in Christ, and details of how we, as followers of Christ, embody and life out that purpose in our daily lives. Our study together will involve a slide show presentation covering the key points and other teachings of the week, as well as opportunity for questions, discussion, and making it real for our own lives. Please join Susan+ in the library between services from 9:45-10:15am and discover more about your faith in Christ Jesus, and how to live out our Baptismal covenant as children of light.”
