Adult Bible Class

Adult Bible Class on Sunday mornings at 10:45 AM (following the Divine Service) in the sanctuary!

“Joseph — Carpenter of Steel.” Join us for Adult Bible Class next Sunday (November 28), as we begin a new study focusing on the carpenter Joseph, whom God chose to raise His Son, Jesus. In this study, which includes video portions from Lutheran Hour Ministries, we will look back to Joseph’s engagement to Mary, the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, the family’s flight to Egypt, and Jesus’ childhood in Nazareth, and see the role this humble carpenter had in God’s plan. This study will continue through the season of Advent.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” (Colossians 3:16)
