These adult education sessions
explore a multitude of faith issues
and how they relate to our lives in and out of church.
The "New Testament Writings" class (NeTWrite)
is studying the
Gospels and the life of Jesus this year. We are first looking at the Gospels
individually (Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John), then comparatively (especially
the synoptic Gospels), and finally we will look at the "quest(s) for the
historical Jesus." Anyone is welcome at any session, but if you did not
attend last spring and would like to receive monthly notices with
suggestions for preparation, please contact Ken Gowdy,
(651-224-9807) or
kegs35@comcast.net .

"Section B" meets the THIRD MONDAY of the month, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in a home.
