Bible Classes
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Ten Bible Stories You Should Know…But Probably Don’t
Led by Pastor Paul Jenkins
September 6 - November 8
They’re not taught in most Lutheran schools. They don’t appear in the readings during Sunday worship. Christians who stick to the Psalms and Gospels may never read or hear them. But the Spirit gave us these Bible stories, too, and they’re powerful. Come and learn from Scriptures’ stories that you probably don’t know, but you should – to grow in your faith and Christian living.
