11:15am-12:15amPsalms - The Prayerbook of the Bible, with Sara Koenig

The Word You Heard: Unpacking the Day's Sermon with james Kearny
As Presbyterian Christians, we believe the Bible to be God's written Word, witnessing to God's self-revelation. When that Word is read and preached, we also believe that Jesus Christ is present in our midst. So preaching introduces us to Jesus, God with Us, who takes away the sin of the world. This class offering gives you a chance to dig deeper into the sermon of the day with others who heard the same message. All your comments and questions will be welcome in a safe place where the goal is to know Jesus better.
