Manna and Mercy:
Do you ever struggle to understand or explain how the themes from the Hebrew Scriptures connect to Jesus' story? Or how to connect any of it with your own story?

This class is for you if:

• You aren't sure what you believe, or
• You have a friend you'd like to share God's story with, or
• You have gone to church your whole life and just want a refresher, or
• You want help articulating your faith, to be able to talk about it with others.

Manna and Mercy, by Dan Erlander, is both simple and rich, and this 6-week class will help all of us connect God's story to our own.
Wednesdays at 7:45PM, with dinner served from 7:00PM-7:45PM. (Note this NEW time!) RSVP to Monte Peterson. Begins 11 April. Find more information and an introductory video online here.
