HERE WE STAND! THE LUTHERAN COURSE

Now is the perfect time to keep your New Year's Resolution that you will grow as a disciple in 2011! The adult Sunday School class is beginning a new series based on "The Lutheran Handbook." The cover of this book shows a winking Martin Luther. This image combines the serious, formal scholarship that was Luther's life work, with the humor and lightheartedness that characterized his personality.

This course will teach you how to respond when someone sits in your pew; how to survive the service if the AC goes out; and what to bring to a church potluck (by region of the U.S.). Of course, along the way you will also learn a few other important things, like how to defend your faith against attack, how to forgive someone, and how to be saved.

Come and see! It's 9:00-9:50am in Classroom 5.
