0 Comments

 

A series of studies on "The Major Characters of the New Testament." Led by Pastor Barrie and Minister Jacob using videos from The History Channel and various writings available to us.

Each session of the Thursday series will be preceded by a simple meal served at 6:45PM and ends with a short period of prayer and worship. Each night is complete in itself, but we do invite everyone to commit to all five if possible.

The study schedule is:
March 1: Paul (before and after his encounter with Jesus)
March 8: Peter (The Hot-head)
March 15: James (Controversial to Martin Luther)
March 22: Mary (What do we know of her?)
March 29: Judas (Enemy or...?)
