Sunday Morning Bible Study (10:45-11:45 a.m.)
Junior/Senior High School Students - Join us for Sunday school in the cafeteria. We will be following the Enduring Faith Bible curriculum from Concordia Publishing House. In this series, where we are studying the Old Testament, students learn how to defend their faith. They become prepared to state what they believe about the Bible and why. The Board of Parish Education is super excited for this opportunity to work with a very fun group of students.
