Adult Formation 101: "That’s a Good Question"
Sunday Morning
9:15 am, All Saints Hall

Facilitators: Nancy Boyle, Chris Isgett, Esther Richey

What are your questions about the Bible…… living your faith……what it all means and how it impacts your life? They are all good questions, and it is often by being exposed to many different perspectives that we are led to the “right” answer. Please join us as we explore the questions, share our experiences and discover the answers, growing in God’s love, together.
