Popcorn Theology 

On March 9, the Christian Education Committee presented the film "The Greatest Story Ever Told." Due to the length of the movie (3 1/2 hours) and the fact that the movie is divided into two parts, it was decided to present the movie in two parts. Part I covered Jesus' birth and ministry up to Palm Sunday. The second part follows the events from palm Sunday through the Resurrection. The showing of the second part will be scheduled some time after Easter. As usual, all are welcome even if you weren't able to attend the first part. More information to follow.

The Bible Survey Class 

The Bible Survey Class will conclude with a look at the Gospel according to John and the letters attributed to John. On the first week, March 16, the focus will be John 1 -11. All are welcome to attend.

Christian Education 

Please note that for the next two weeks, Palm Sunday and Easter Day, there will be no topical classes scheduled. We will resume on the first Sunday after Easter, March 30, with a series on the theory and practice of prayer. Charlie Cork's Bible survey class will continue with an examination of the Johannine epistles. I hope to see you there.
